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!"
Still so original, and delightfully – daringly – funny, it is revived by director Patrick Marber with such vigour, sparkle and controlled wildness that it renders itself the London show of the festival season – funnier, camper and more outre than pantomime, although it pulls back from the full freight of the danger in its political satire.
Despite writing the film back in 1968, Brooks' writing feels as bitingly sharp as ever. The fact that the show has sold out already is testament to the public appetite for this spiky love letter to theatre. A show that revels in bad taste, Marber makes sure that this production takes every overt insult and offensive satirical element and runs with it.
