Introduction to the cast of The Producers
Mel Brooks’ multi-award winning show, The Producers, begins its first major London revival this winter. Staged at the Menier Chocolate Factory by Tony Award winning director Patrick Marber and Broadway choreographer Lorin Latarro, it opens on 9 December 2024 and runs until 1 March 2025.
Following the fortunes of a former Broadway king, Max Bialystock, and his accountant Leo Bloom, The Producers show is a riotous romp through the world of musical theatre. As the pair hatch a get-rich-quick scheme to produce the worst flop in Broadway history, they run into a band of outrageous characters, plenty of moments of madness and even some unexpected success. A talented cast is bringing the story to life in this latest production - let’s meet them.
