An Adelaide company doing “The Producers” – the Mel Brooks show that took Broadway by the scruff of its neck and was showered with Tonys? Could an Adelaide amateur company do this show? Attempting a production of this impeccable and brilliantly-credentialed show is remarkably ambitious. With two films and the wildly successful stage musical already seared into the public consciousness, it is impossible to create an original rendering. Add to this the limited budget of amateur theatre and the risks of presenting a spectacular dud are high. But this is no dud. “The Producers” is by no means perfect, but it is an enjoyable, tight and funny show. With disciplined performances, and comical and precise characterisations, Director Glenn Vallen must take the credit for the success of this production. “The Producers” is the story of the failed, bombastic Broadway producer Max Bialystock and his mousy accountant Leo Bloom. They plan to raise millions of dollars to produce a sure-fire flop, and then run off with the investors’ cash when the show closes. When they find “Springtime for Hitler”, a musical honouring the Fuhrer by a local Nazi, they think they’ve found their perfect turkey. “The Producers” depends primarily on Bialystock and Bloom. If they are ineffective, the show cannot succeed.

For Bialystock, in Mel Brooks's current hit musical, the assured failure of his show, ''Springtime for Hitler,'' is dependent on securing the services of a director named Roger De Bris. ''Is he good?'' inquires Bialystock's ingenuous partner, Leo Bloom, as they head for a rendezvous with De Bris. ''I mean, is he bad?'' ''He stinks,'' Bialystock replies. Shortly thereafter, Bialystock imploringly informs De Bris: ''Roger, I speak for Mr. Bloom and myself when I say that you are the only man in the world who can do justice to 'Springtime for Hitler.' '' For Mr. Brooks, assuring the successful transformation of his 1968 film ''The Producers'' into a Broadway musical required at least one similarly baldfaced overture. ''Two and a half years ago, my husband, Mike Ockrent, and I got a call saying Mel Brooks wanted to meet us,'' Susan Stroman said recently.

    THE PRODUCERS Book by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan Music and Lyrics by Mel Brooks Garland Summer Musicals Production Crew: Producer – Patty Granville Reviewed Performance 6/16/2017 Reviewed by Joel Gerard, Associate Critic for John Garcia's THE COLUMN If you’ve ever seen a Mel Brooks movie, then you should know what to expect from anything he writes. The Producers has raunchy humor with slightly offensive jokes about every race, sex, and religion. But above all else it’s also hilarious and fun. It won a record twelve Tony awards on Broadway, and Garland Summer Musicals is doing an award-worthy production right here in North Texas. The Producers is a musical Mel Brooks wrote based on his own movie “The Producers” from 1967 which starred the late Gene Wilder. Max Bialystock used to be the king of Broadway, but most of his shows are now flops that close as soon as they open. Max gets a visit from his accountant Leo Bloom who discovers that Max could potentially make more money from producing show that flops if he raises more money than he needs to produce the show. To ensure the show closes quickly, they collaborate to find an awful musical called “Springtime For Hitler”, hire a terrible director, and wait to pocket the money once the show fails. Of course things don’t go exactly as planned after opening night. Randy Pearlman plays Max Bialystock the down-on-his-luck Broadway producer looking to make some money. This is a fun role for any actor. Max is a zany character with questionable morals.

Kaplan* ABSTRACT In recent decades, studios that own film and television properties have developed business models that exploit the copyrights in those materials in every known market and in all currently conceivable forms of entertainment and merchandising. For the most part, uniform laws and parallel industry cultures permit smooth integration across formats. But theater is different. The work-made-for-hire provisions that allow corporations to function as the authors of the works they contract to create do not easily align with the culture and standard contract provisions of live theater.
