The Producers

Quite simply this is one of the funniest and most enjoyable of the recent crop of 'film to stage musical' adptations we've had.

When a naive accountant reveals to a scrupulous Broadway producer the potential to make more money out of a flop than a hit, the pair set about finding the worst stage show they can and producing it. And they do. 'Springtime for Hitler' is that flop. How could something like that possibly be a success?

'The Producers' won 12 Tony awards and deservedly so. It's an absolute joy. Jason Manford stars in this new tour, so it'll be nice to see someone local in a starring role.
