Denton Community Theatre: The Producers
The comedic genius of Mel Brooks shines in this musical stage version of his original movie. Down and out Broadway producer, Max Bialystock gets a visit from a chronically nervous accountant, Leo Bloom. While inspecting Max’s questionable books, Leo poses the purely academic notion that a producer could make more money with a flop than with a hit. Max immediately enlists the reluctant Leo as his partner. They read mountains of scripts until they discover Springtime for Hitler, written by a former Nazi who adored the Fuhrer. What could be less appealing? Next they hire the most ridiculously outrageous director to guarantee a monumental failure. Max uses his unique charm with wealthy old ladies to raise the funds, while Leo runs the office with the newly hired assistant, Ulla, a Swedish bombshell. They are sure to be unsuccessful and rich. They look forward to opening night boos, but before the curtain closes it is apparent that the show is a huge hit! They can never repay the investors. Where did they go right? Tickets: $18 adults $16 seniors $10 students. For information: 940-382-1915 or www.campustheatre.com
