The Producers : 5 of 5
5.27.2005 6:35 PM \| Link	I've always wanted to see this show (since seeing one of the numbers during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade a few years ago), but I was thinking of not going since I was late checking for tickets and all that was available was last row! Normally I wouldn't have bought them, but my pal Melinda and I decided to go anyway. I'm so glad we did, because we still had a great view of the stage (and opera glasses helped!) and the show was phenomenal! I was impressed that not only did Mel Brooks write all the lyrics and script, but he even wrote the music, and this is definitely a 100% Mel Brooks show. There's tons of raunchy humor and language, plenty of racist jokes, and lots of boobs - and it's all completely hilarious! You probably already know the plot, about a washed-up Broadway producer and an accountant who try to make the worst flop ever so they can get away with the investors' money, and the "show inside the show" is unbelievable. Springtime for Hitler is simply amazing, including everything from dancing girls with giant bratwurst and pretzels on their heads to Hitler himself singing "Heil me!" and dancing around with tanks and bombs. I loved every moment and laughed my head off! The touring cast was exceptional - in fact, the performer playing Ulla used to play the role on Broadway. I'm so glad I went, and now I know why this show has been a hit for so long! Labels: arts
