Synopsis:
Mel
Brooks is bringing The
Producers, one of the most honored musicals in the history
of the American theater, to the motion picture screen as a sparkling,
feature-length musical comedy. The record-breaking Tony Award-winning
hit (based on Mel Brooks' seminal 1968 motion picture comedy) received
15 nominations and won a record-breaking 12 awards, including Best
Musical, Best Director and Choreographer, and Best Actor.
Two-time Tony Award winners Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick return
to their celebrated roles as Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom, a scheming
theatrical producer and his mousy CPA who hit upon the perfect plan to
embezzle a fortune: raise far more money than you need to produce a
sure-fire Broadway flop and then (since no one will expect anything
back), Max and Leo can pocket the difference. To do this, they need
the ultimate bad play, which they find in the musical Springtime
for Hitler. Their plans come to naught and the duo are taken
completely by surprise when their new production is hailed as a
toast-of-the-town hit. Will Ferrell also brings his spot-on comic
talents to the role of Franz Liebkind, the neo-Nazi playwright (and
pigeon fancier) responsible for penning the "worst play ever
written."
The Producers
is directed by Susan Stroman, Tony Award-winning director and
choreographer of the original Broadway production of The
Producers; it is written by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan (based
on their original stage play), with music and lyrics by Brooks. Brooks
also produces, with Jonathan Sanger.
