About The Producers
Based on Mel Brooks' iconic 1967 film, The Producers tells the story of down-on-his-luck Broadway producer Max Bialystock and his mild-mannered accountant Leo Bloom, who hatch a scheme to make a fortune by staging the biggest flop in theatrical history.

The current West End production has been delighting audiences with its outrageous humour, spectacular dance numbers, and unforgettable songs including "Springtime for Hitler" and "I Wanna Be a Producer." Select performances are currently offering savings for theatregoers looking to catch the show.
