A Maine State Music Theatre first of the critically acclaimed comedy-musical about producing a musical comedy.
The story concerns two theatrical producers who scheme to get rich by overselling interests in a Broadway flop. Complications arise when the show unexpectedly turns out to be successful. Told with the purposely politically incorrect humor that we have come to love and expect from Mel Brooks, there are many show business in-jokes, ridiculous accents and chases, caricatures of everyone from homosexuals to Nazis, and over-the-top production numbers filled with shapely showgirls.
Winner in 2001 of 12 Tony Awards including Best Book, Score and Musical, 2 Drama Desks as Outstanding Book and New Musical, and the New York Critics’ Circle Award for Best Musical
