From Screen to Stage

The Producers began as Mel Brooks’ 1967 film, a sharp showbiz satire that became a cult favorite. Decades later, Brooks reimagined the story as a stage musical with co-writer Thomas Meehan, writing the music and lyrics himself — his first full Broadway score.

A Broadway Phenomenon

The musical adaptation arrived to enormous acclaim and quickly became a must-see event, beloved for its irreverent humor and lavish staging. Its success helped define a new era of comedy on Broadway and inspired productions and tours around the world.

A Lasting Legacy

Today The Producers is regarded as a modern classic — a show that both lampoons and lovingly celebrates the theatre business, and continues to win over new audiences with every revival and tour.
