Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival proudly presents The Producers, the uproarious, Tony Award-winning musical comedy that took Broadway by storm. Based on Mel Brooks’ Oscar-winning 1967 film, this side-splitting satire hits the Main Stage at the Labuda Center for the Performing Arts at DeSales University, delivering nonstop laughs, show-stopping dance numbers, and an outrageously entertaining story. Previews are June 11 and 12, with Opening Night on June 13; running through June 29.
A record-breaking Broadway smash, The Producers holds the distinction of winning the most Tony Awards ever for a single production—including Best Musical. With a riotous score by Mel Brooks, this cult-classic musical comedy follows down-on-his-luck producer Max Bialystock (Scott Greer) and timid accountant Leo Bloom (Michael Doherty) as they scheme to produce the worst show ever and pocket the profits. But when their outrageous plan backfires and their disaster becomes a surprise hit, chaos—and comedy—ensues.
Helming the production is director Jennifer Childs, who directed last season’s hit The Play That Goes Wrong.
I’m thrilled to have Scott Greer and Michael Doherty leading this production—they’re extraordinary actors and clowns, with a knack for vintage comedy. Alongside the incredible Anthony Lawton, and our powerhouse ensemble, they bring this riotous show to life with hilarious cameos, ebullient songs, and ferocious tap numbers, – Director Jennifer Childs
