The Producers (A Mel Brooks Musical)

Book by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan 
Music and Lyrics by Mel Brooks

Max Bialystock, the one-­time king of Broadway producers hungry to strike it rich again, and Leo Bloom, an accountant with dreams of someday becoming a theatre producer, discover that they can get richer by producing a flop than a hit. They set out to find the worst show, worst director, and the worst actors they can cast. When their new production, “Springtime for Hitler,” turns out to be a smash success, the plan is thrown off and the partners’ lives are thrown into hilarious chaos.
