Only Mel Brooks could have created a Broadway blockbuster with a big song
and dance production number called “Springtime For Hitler.” The story of
Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom’s dream to produce the worst show ever was a
hit movie, a hit Broadway show and a hit movie again. Now THE PRODUCERS
is the most anticipated revival of the season.
This show contains mature themes and language.
