Based
on Mel Brooks' beloved Academy Award winning movie, The Producers is a
hilarious musical comedy that has taken Broadway and the West End by storm,
winning a record-breaking 12 Tony Awards and 3 Olivier Awards; it opens its UK
tour in March 2015 calling at Sunderland Empire from May 11th.
Impoverished by a string of flops, New York producer Max
Bialystock recruits downtrodden accountant Leo Bloom to help him pull off
Broadway's greatest scam. Together they aim to produce the worst show in
history and run away to Rio
with millions, but they learn that Showbusiness can always find a way to kick
you in the teeth. Featuring a riotous mix of eccentric characters and the
all-time classic song 'Springtime For Hitler', The Producers is the funniest
Broadway musical of all time
The cast for this brand new Springtime tour of The
Producers features one of the UK's best loved comedians Jason Manford as timid
accountant Leo Bloom= . Broadway and West End
star Cory English reprises his role as Max Bialystock, one he played to critical
acclaim in London's
West End. Tiffany
Graves joins the company as Ulla the object of Leo Bloom's affections.
Ross Noble and Phill Jupitus share the role of
Franz Liebkind; the short fused, carrier pigeon keeping, former Nazi, brought
on board by Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom to help them in their plot to put on
the worst musical of all time.
Olivier Award winning actor David Bedella will play
the flamboyant director Roger De Bris chosen by Max Bialystock in an attempt to
ensure 'Springtime for Hitler' is a flop. Renowned dancer, choreographer and
television personality Louie Spence plays his equally flamboyant assistant
Carmen Ghia (until 2 May).
The Producers is produced by Adam Spiegel Productions
who has brought together a stellar, award winning creative team including
acclaimed Top Hat Director Matthew White, Choreographer Lee Proud, Designer
Paul Farnsworth, Lighting Designer Paul Anderson, Musical Director Andrew
Hilton, Orchestrator Chris Walker, Sound Designer Gareth Owen and Casting
Director James Orange.
Adam Spiegel said; "The Producers is the
biggest, funniest Broadway musical of all time. It's filled with fabulous
costumes, glamorous dancing girls, hysterical show-tunes and an incredible live
band. With a cast of the most celebrated, well-loved comedians in the UK today and the very
best singers and dancers from London's West End this production of Mel Brook's
record breaking, award winning comedy is guaranteed to be a hilarious night
out!"
