Mel Brooks' outrageously funny, Tony-sweeping musical comedy, under the direction of Patrick Marber, is once again treating us to the misadventures of Max Bialystock, a washed-up Broadway schemer, and Leo Bloom, his nervous number-crunching sidekick. Their genius (or utterly disastrous) plan? Stage the worst musical in history, pocket the investors' money, and run. Enter Springtime for Hitler - a show so offensive it's guaranteed to flop...or is it?

The Producers has officially opened at The Garrick Theatre so what are the critics saying?

The Producers Critic Reviews

"A five-star show for turbulent times. Patrick Marber's masterful revival is even more deluxe and delightful in this West End transfer." The Times

"Mel Brooks's outrageous musical The Producers is still gloriously funny. This zesty revival raises the Garrick roof with a carnival of wisecracks and witty tunes." The Telegraph

"Sequinned y-fronts emblazoned with swastikas, floral designs shaped into the Nazi symbol, and sing-a-longs including lines like it's springtime for Hitler and Germany, Deutschland is happy and gay!' It could only be The Producers, the tongue-in-cheek Nazi musical within a musical written 58 years ago that, despite its age, still feels like the most shocking show on in the West End." City AM

"At 99 years old, and amid countless other achievements, Mel Brooks can congratulate himself on having the funniest show in London. The Producers also feels like it's meeting a moment. A tale of two Jewish chancers aiming to fleece sex-starved elderly female investors by staging a surefire Broadway flop a gayed-up Third Reich musical called Springtime for Hitler it's willfully, joyfully offensive to just about everyone." The Standard

"The bigger space and grander details in the set work in the show's favour, while some of the more rustic elements seen at the Menier remain, creating the best of both worlds. With a cast that has had more time to settle into their roles and a director who has continued to find new ways to elevate the material and bring more laughs into the mix, the result is one huge hit. Don't be surprised if this production runs for 20 years." All That Dazzles
