The Producers for Brisbane

Queensland Musical Theatre will present hit Broadway musical The Producers, at the Twelfth Night Theatre, opening 21 October 2022.

The Mel Brooks comedy is infamous for artfully poking fun at old societal stereotypes while also being a nostalgic romp through Broadway’s Golden Age.

Director, Nathaniel Currie, believes audiences have been flocking to the show since 2001 because of its cheeky, satirical reflection on society, delivered at toe-tapping tempo with songs like “Springtime for Hitler” and “When You’ve Got It, Flaunt It”.

The plot follows two oddballs, Broadway Producer Max Bialystock and Accountant Leo Bloom, as they round-up New York’s least-talented entertainers to put on “the worst show in history”, all in the name of making a fortune.

The script delivers guaranteed laughs as the audience is introduced to a circus of characters, including an outrageously flamboyant theatre director, a Swedish sex-bomb and an army of lascivious grandmas.

Brisbane performer, Tony Campbell, plays the central role of Max Bialystock, originally made famous by Nathan Lane. “The world of this show is immense, and the cast of triple threats have done a superb job bringing it to life,” Mr Campbell said. “The audience should prepare themselves for a high-octane and rewarding theatrical experience that lampoons and scrutinises, that doubles as a love-letter that celebrates and honours.”

QMT’s creative team is led by Nathaniel Currie, with Julianne Burke on choreography and Benjamin Tubb-Hearne as Musical Director.

THE PRODUCERS runs 21 – 30 October at the iconic Twelfth Night Theatre, Bowen Hills. Tickets are available via Ticketek https://premier.ticketek.com.au/shows/show.aspx?sh=PRODUCER22 or
