The Producers - Thursday 12th May (In Aid of Springhill Hospice)

Rochdale Musical Theatre Company proudly present ‘The Producers’ at the magnificent Champness Hall in Rochdale Town Centre 12th - 21st May 2022.This laugh-out-loud all singing, all dancing Broadway musical comedy is the perfect remedy for those who have been longing for a night out at the theatre. So, what’s the plot? A down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered, nervous accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history thereby swindling their backers (all "little old ladies") out of millions of dollars. Only one thing goes awry: the show is a smash hit! The show follows the antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as they manoeuvre their way fecklessly through finding a show (the gloriously offensive "Springtime For Hitler"), hiring a director, raising the money and finally going to prison for their misdeeds.With a truly hysterical book co-written by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan (known for Annie and Hairspray) and music and lyrics by Mr. Brooks, The Producers definitely isn't one to miss!Get your family and friends together for a spectacular night of music and laughter and show your support for local theatre.
