The Producers

January 17, 2025

The first major London revival of Mel Brooks’ musical adaptation of The Producers will be staged at the Menier Chocolate Factory this winter by Tony Award-winning director Patrick Marber and Broadway choreographer Lorin Latarro.

Based on the classic cult film, the original Broadway production won a record twelve Tony Awards, and skewers Broadway traditions, taking no prisoners as it proudly proclaims itself an “equal opportunity offender!”

Starring Marc Antolin, Andy Nyman, Harry Morrison and Joanna Woodward, with music and lyrics by Mel Brooks himself and a book by him and Thomas Meehan (Annie, Hairspray, Bombay Dreams, Young Frankenstein and Elf: The Musical) and staged at one of our favourite Off-West End venues, this revival will be much anticipated by all that saw it first time round back in 2004 when it opened at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. The original West End production played for 920 performances over a three-year period. Nominated for eight Olivier Awards, it won three of them including Best New Musical.

Adapted from Brooks’s 1967 film of the same name, we follow two theatrical producers who scheme to get rich by fraudulently overselling interests in a Broadway musical designed to fail. Complications arise when the show is a surprise hit!

With all previews now sold out and over 10, 000 tickets already sold, book early to avoid missing out on what promises to be the perfect way to banish those January blues.
