The first major London revival of Mel Brooks’ musical adaptation of THE
PRODUCERS will be staged at the Menier this winter by Tony Award-winning
director Patrick Marber and Broadway choreographer Lorin Latarro.
Starring Andy Nyman, Marc Antolin, Joanna Woodward and Harry Morrison,
this laugh-out-loud production opens on 9 December, with previews from 26
November, and runs until 1 March 2025.
Based on the classic cult film of the same name, the original Broadway
production won twelve Tony Awards, and skewers Broadway traditions, taking
no prisoners as it proudly proclaims itself an "equal opportunity offender!"

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR The Producers
As sharp and taboo-busting as ever
8 / 10
It’s hard to resist incessant comparisons to the original, so closely does The Producers hew to it; all of the funniest lines are ripped verbatim from the 1967 screenplay. (“Hitler… there was a painter. He could paint an entire apartment in one afternoon. Two coats!”) The variations are chiefly musical, the lively and bombastic songs dotted across the musical’s two acts, all written by Brooks himself – an artist who always has one foot in vaudevillian tradition.
The Mel Brooks classic is delivered with taste-trampling gusto
8 / 10
Patrick Marber’s fun, slick-ish production pulls out all the stops for that still jaw-dropping scene, albeit on a fringier budget. Plump and purringly feline, Trevor Ashley’s Roger De Bris, Springtime’s director-turned-Hitler-stand-in, arrives in a gilded chariot – the kitsch pièce de résistance of a sequence that boasts a chorus-line of silver-clad stormtroopers goose-stepping, tap-dancing and Sieg Heil-ing with limp-wristed abandon. It’s a consummate guilty pleasure: we’re laughing at the Nazis at the risk of traducing the darkest chapter of 20th century history.

The award-winning musical The Producers is finally returning to London in its first revival since debuting on the West End in 2004. The show, based on the iconic 1967 film of the same name by Mel Brooks, tells the story of two producers who discover that a producer could make more from a Broadway flop than a hit, which leads them to put on what they think will be the worst show in history - Springtime for Hitler.
