Arts center, October 25, 26, and November 1 and 2 at 7:30 PM. Sunday

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 Hitler"), 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.
