The Philippine production of “The Producers” will be directed by Jaime del Mundo, who recently wrapped up his other productions “The Bluebird of Happiness” and “Mind’s Eye.” The show, based on the 1968 cult movie, is also by Brooks and Thomas Meehan, with songs arranged by Glen Kelly and Doug Besterman,
“The Producers” has become a Broadway phenomenon, turning the tradition of a Broadway musical on its head more than any other show in the history of the Great White Way. With a run of over 2,500 shows on Broadway, over two years at London’s Theatre Royal Drury Lane and many hundreds of shows performed on tour and international productions. “The Producers” is one of the most highly awarded musicals in history, having received twelve Tony Awards and ten Drama Desk Awards in 2001 and three Laurence Olivier Awards in 2005. It tells the story of Max Bialystock, a struggling Broadway producer and Leo Bloom, a stage-struck accountant. These two men join forces in order to make mega-bucks by producing the worst musical ever seen on Broadway. When they receive a musical script from Franz Liebkind, an ex-Nazi stormtrooper, which tells the story of Hitler’s rise to power in song and dance, they are convinced that they have found a show that is guaranteed to offend just about everybody.
“The Producers” is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. 421 West 54th Street, New York, NY 10019. Phone: 212-541-4684 Fax: 212-397-4684
