Aug 1st: Duluth Playhouse presents "The Producers"
Time: 2 pm
The Producers, Mel Brooks’ comic tour de force, won a record twelve Tony Awards in 2001. This rollicking production is filled with old-fashioned Broadway glitz, show-stopping songs, wickedly inventive dances, and enough audacious humor to keep audiences laughing all the way home. Max Bailystock, a down on his luck Broadway producer, lassoes his milquetoast accountant Leo Bloom into a scheme to produce the biggest flop possible, on the premise that they can make more money from overselling a bomb than parlaying a hit. The preposterous “Springtime of Hitler” seems to be just the “sure to flop” script they are looking for to make all their theatrical dreams come true. Marvelously scandalous, outrageously campy, and downright zany, The Producers is one of the funniest, splashiest, flashiest musicals ever to hit the stage. $23 adults/$21 seniors (65+)/$15 youth & students/$19 Groups (15+). Held at The Duluth Playhouse.
