Good Company Players brings back to the stage their wildly popular 2008 production of Mel Brooks’ award winning musical The Producers.
“The Producers” directed by Brooks—creator of such
well-known films as “Young Frankenstein” and “Blazing Saddles,” premiered on Broadway in 2001 and won a record 12 Tony Awards. Reproduced by the original 2008 Good Company Players production staff and most of the original cast, The Producers will play at Roger Rocka’s Dinner Theater, January 21 through March 14, 2010.

Leo (PETER ALLWINE) and Max (DARREN THARP) meet Ulla (KRISTIN HENSON). |

Successful Broadway producer Max Bialystock's career is on the verge of collapse when his hopeful "smash hit" comes out a flop. Into Max’s life walks an accountant named Leo Bloom, as nervous and skittish as Max is bombastic and outrageous.
Bloom stumbles on a plan where a producer could make more money with a flop than with a hit – and the game is on! While Bialystock maximizes his mojo to win the hearts (and money) of many lonely old lady investors, Bloom gets his hands wrapped up with their new sexpot secretary, and the two producers set about creating a sure-fire flop called “Springtime for Hitler” with Brook’s bawdy something-to-offend-everyone humor.

THE PRODUCERS score includes tunes from the movie—“Prisoners of Love”, “Springtime for Hitler”—along with new songs such as “When You’ve Got It, Flaunt It”, and “I Wanna Be a Producer.”
Direction & Cast
Fred Bologna is back to direct and co-choreograph with Kaye Migaki, and David Sarkisian returns to vocal coach. The perfect stage team – Darren Tharp and Peter Allwine – play Bialystock and Bloom, joined by Kristen Henson as the bombshell secretary Ulla.
The disastrous production team for “Springtime for Hitler” includes a former Nazi playwright (John Masier), the worst director on Broadway, Roger De Bris (Steve Souza), his assistant Carmen Ghia (Scott Hancock), plus a host of singers and dancers in countless roles.
