*THE PRODUCERS” at Chanhassen Dinner Theatre
Producer/Director Mel Brooks took a real gamble when he adapted his 1968 film satire to
the musical stage. The story was utterly outrageous: flop- covered theatrical produce
Max Bialystok realizes the road to his financial redemption lies in producing the worst
musical ever written, raising $25,000 of the capital, and pocketing it all when the show is
a one-night-only disaster. Aided and abetted by a timid accountant, Leo Bloom,
Bialystok options the rights to a “gay romp with Adolf and Eva in Berchtesgarten” called
“Springtime for Hitler”. Of course, if the show, by some insane stretch of credulity, were
to become a hit, Bialystok and Bloom would be thrown in jail. And that’s exactly what
happens! Winner of a record-breaking 12 Tony Awards, The Producers was remade into
a popular movie musical in 2006. It closed on Broadway in April 2007. Chanhassen
Dinner Theatres is one of three elite regional theatres in the U.S. to receive the rights to
produce The Producers. A delicious lunch is included and will be served before the
production.
