The Arcadians Theatre Group Presents

The Producers

12th - 27th September 2008

 

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 humour. It is a truly stunning 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 slightly left of the square: the show is a smash hit! The antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as they manoeuver their way fecklessly through finding a show (the gloriously bad and hilarious “Springtime For Hitler”), hiring a director, raising the money and finally going to prison for their misdeeds 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.
