Producers (The)

The first major London revival of Mel Brooks’ musical adaptation of THE PRODUCERS will be staged at the Menier this winter by Tony Award-winning director Patrick Marber and Broadway choreographer Lorin Latarro.

Based on the classic cult film, the original Broadway production won a record twelve Tony Awards, and skewers Broadway traditions, taking no prisoners as it proudly proclaims itself an “equal opportunity offender!”

Olivier Award nominee Marc Antolin plays Leo Bloom. His other theatre credits include The Band’s Visit (Donmar Warehouse), Little Shop of Horrors (Regent’s Park Open Air; Olivier Award nominee for Best Actor in a Musical), Matilda (Cambridge), and he will soon be seen in the West End in I Wish You Well (Criterion).

He returns to the Menier Chocolate Factory for the fifth time having previously appeared in Terrible Advice, Abigail’s Party (also in the West End), Assassins and Fiddler on the Roof, for which he was nominated for the Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Musical for the subsequent West End transfer to the Playhouse. His other theatre credits also include Hello, Dolly! (Palladium), Hangmen (Broadway) and Ghost Stories (Lyric Hammersmith/Duke of York’s), which he co-wrote and directed, as well as starring in the feature film adaptation.
