The Producers

Metropolis Performing Arts Centre
111 West Campbell Street Arlington Heights

Failed Broadway producer, Max Bialystock, is desperate to strike it rich. A chance meeting with Leo Bloom, a mild-mannered accountant with big show business dreams of his own, sparks an unlikely partnership. Instead of producing a Broadway hit, the two discover they can become filthy-rich by producing an epic flop. This scheme catapults the greedy pair on a mission: find the worst director, the worst cast and the worst musical in the history of theater. To their dismay, the surefire miss is hailed a smashing success, throwing the devious plan into chaos. The Producers sets the standard for outrageous, in-your-face humor. Winner of a record twelve Tony Awards, this politically incorrect classic skewers traditions and takes no prisoners as it proudly proclaims itself an "equal opportunity offender!"
