THE PRODUCERS “We have to find the worst play ever written!” When brazen Broadway producer Max Bialystock (Jay Brazeau) and neurotic accountant Leo Bloom (Josh Epstein) discover they can make more money with a theatrical flop than with a hit, the zany schemers begin a madcap search to find a “guaranteed-to-close-in-one-night beauty.” They rejoice when Springtime for Hitler lands on their desk. Surely, a musical homage to the Führer couldn’t possibly succeed—or could it?! Written by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan. Music and lyrics by Mel Brooks and by special arrangement with StudioCanal.
