Don’t just walk, RUN to go see this show while you still can!!!! Tonight and tomorrow are it!
OMG!!! I didn’t know much about this before we went and I am so glad!!! It was freaking hysterical, surprising, endearing, frequently raunchy, did I mention hysterical? Benjamin J Miller just owned his role, amazing!!! I think Michael with his blankie and David Goldman with his birds got me tickled the most. And Cory with his Hi**er song!… Casey has to darn near pick me up off the floor! Such a fun night. Just outstanding work by everyone!! Go see this show!! Not for kids!
Keeping The Excitement and Broadway Blockbusters Coming To Mid-Missouri With.......
"CCP's “The Producers, The Musical!”
June 8th, 9th, 10th & 15th, 16th, 17th
**Now On The CCP Main Stage Taking The Center Spot Light!!**
A scheming producer and his mousy accountant aim to produce the biggest flop on Broadway in Mel Brooks' laugh-out-loud spectacle!
Bialystock and Bloom! Those names should strike terror and hysteria in anyone familiar with Mel Brooks' classic cult comedy film.
Now as a big Broadway musical, The Producers once again sets the standard for modern, outrageous, in-your-face humor. It is a truly "boffo" hit, winning a record twelve Tony Awards and wowing capacity crowds night after night.
The plot is simple: a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history, thereby bilking their backers (all "little old ladies") out of millions of dollars.
Only one thing goes awry: the show is a smash hit! The antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as they maneuver their way fecklessly through finding a show (the gloriously offensive "Springtime for Hi**er"), hiring a director, raising the money and finally going to prison for their misdeeds is a lesson in broad comic construction.
At the core of the insanely funny adventure is a poignant emotional journey of two very different men who become friends.
With a truly hysterical book co-written by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan (Annie) and music and lyrics by Mr. Brooks, The Producers skewers Broadway traditions and takes no prisoners as it proudly proclaims itself an "equal opportunity offender!"
