The Producers
Mel Brooks's hilarious musical comedy at Short North Stage.
The Producers is a classic Broadway musical comedy about two theatrical producers who scheme to stage the worst play ever written—a bizarre musical called Springtime for Hitler—so they can abscond with investor money. Filled with clever wordplay, show-stopping musical numbers, and over-the-top characters, it's a wickedly funny satire of theater itself. Families who enjoy smart comedy and musical theater will appreciate its sharp humor and energetic performances, though some jokes are aimed squarely at adults.
