Let the Show Begin with The Producers at The Palace Theatre

Bialystock and Bloom! Those names should strike terror and hysteria in anyone familiar with Mel Brooks’ classic cult comedy film. Now as a big Broadway musical, The Producers once again sets the standard for modern, outrageous, in-your-face humor. It is a truly “boffo” hit, winning a record twelve Tony Awards and wowing capacity crowds night after night. You don’t want to miss this one!

The Palace Theatre is offering AARP members and their guests a $10 per adult ticket discount for The Producers playing April 22 to May 15, 2022 at The Palace Theatre, 80 Hanover Street, in downtown Manchester. Performances will be held at 2 and 7:30 pm.

The plot is simple: a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history, thereby bilking their backers (all “little old ladies”) out of millions of dollars. Only one thing goes awry: the show is a smash hit! The antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as they maneuver their way fecklessly through finding a show, hiring a director, raising the money and finally going to prison for their misdeeds is a lesson in broad comic construction.

At the core of the insanely funny adventure is a poignant emotional journey of two very different men who become friends. With a truly hysterical book co-written by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan (Annie) and music and lyrics by Mr. Brooks, The Producers skewers Broadway traditions and takes no prisoners as it proudly proclaims itself an “equal opportunity offender!”

AARP members and their guests can purchase adult tickets online at www.palacetheatre.org/buy-tickets/ or by calling 603 668 5588. Tickets can also be purchased at the box office. To receive the $10 per adult ticket discount, use the code ACTIVE.

Don’t miss Tony-winning hit!
