Bialystock and Bloom! Those names should strike terror and hysteria in anyone familiar with Mel Brooks’ classic cult comedy film. Now as a big Broadway musical, The Producers once again sets the standard for modern, outrageous, in-your-face humor. It is a truly “boffo” hit, winning a record twelve Tony® Awards and wowing capacity crowds night after night. The plot is simple: a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history thereby bilking their backers (all “little old ladies”) out of millions of dollars. Only one thing goes awry: the show is a smash hit! The antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom is a lesson in broad comic construction. At the core of the insanely funny adventure is a poignant emotional journey of two very different men who become friends. With a truly hysterical book co-written by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan (Annie) and music and lyrics by Mr. Brooks, The Producers skewers Broadway traditions and takes no prisoners as it proudly proclaims itself an “equal opportunity offender!”

      This zany musical bursts out of the Georgetown Palace like fireworks on July 4. It’s gaudy, vulgar, suggestive, happy and filled with as many comics and Girls Girls Girls as any Ziegfield show.... Expand

      This zany musical bursts out of the Georgetown Palace like fireworks on July 4. It’s gaudy, vulgar, suggestive, happy and filled with as many comics and Girls Girls Girls as any Ziegfield show. Stars Matt Gauck and Larry Frier are a great pair of song-and-dance comedians. Matt Connely and Matthew Burnet are extravagant, hip-swiveling, wicked caricatures of gays in the theatre. Nicole Pritchard as Swedish love-girl Ulla can act, sing, and dance, and she’s as tasty a bit of eye-candy as you’re likely to see. So what’s not to like? This show has energy, glitter, and humor. It’s a salute to the big kid in all of us. I wanna be a producer, too. Congratulations to cast, director, and crew. This was a huge, complicated piece to produce. Cast members had up to 9 costumes and helped change scenes. Palace Theatre – high quality, all the time!
