The Producers

Collingswood Community Theatre is excited to announce our upcoming musical-comedy - THE PRODUCERS.

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 humor. It is a truly boffo 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 awry: the show is a smash hit! The antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as they maneuver their way fecklessly through finding a show (the gloriously offensive 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.

With a truly hysterical book co-written by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan (Annie) and music and lyrics by Mr. Brooks, THE PRODUCERS skewers Broadway traditions and takes no prisoners as it proudly proclaims itself an equal opportunity offender!

If you liked YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, youll love THE PRODUCERS!

Performances will be January 13, 14, 20, 21, 2017 at 7:30pm with matinees on Saturday, January 14, 2017 and Sunday, January 22, 2017 at 2pm in the Scottish Rite Auditorium, 315 White Horse Pike, Collingswood, NJ.
