The full cast has been announced for hit musical The Producers, which is transferring into the West End following a successful run at the Menier Chocolate Factory in London.

Based on Mel Brooks’ much-loved movie, The Producers has a book by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan, and music and lyrics by Mel Brooks.
The production is directed by Tony Award-winner Patrick Marber (Leopoldstadt), and was a huge success at the Menier Chocolate Factory, drawing praise from critics including The Guardian, which hailed it “irresistible, absurd, and joyful”, and The Independent praising its “wickedly funny” take on the classic musical. Read our round-up of The Producers reviews.
The Producers follows the hapless Broadway producer Max Bialystock and his shy accountant Leo Bloom as they conspire to stage a guaranteed flop—only for events to spiral hilariously out of control.
