The Producers

A down-on-his luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious Broadway flop in history, thereby bilking their backers out of millions of dollars. Only one thing goes awry…the show is a smash hit! The antics of Bialystock and Bloom as they maneuver their way through finding a show (the gloriously offensive "Springtime for Hitler"), hiring a director, raising the money and finally going to prison for their misdeeds is a lesson in broad comic construction. With a truly hysterical book co-written by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan (Annie), The Producers skewers Broadway traditions and takes no prisoners as it proudly proclaims itself an "equal opportunity offender!"
