Mel Brooks' The Producers at the Walnut Street Theatre

The Walnut Street Theatre is a Philadelphia treasure.

As the oldest continually operating theatre in the English speaking world, the theatre is a National Historic Landmark and the official State Theatre of Pennsylvania.

Come celebrate the 200th Anniversay with a Mel Brooks classic - The Producers from May 12th - July 19th.

Mel Brooks' The Producers opened on Broadway to historic, unanimous rave reviews, earning a recordbreaking twelve Tony Awards. This laugh-out-loud musical comedy is the story of scheming producer Max Bialystock and his mousy accountant Leo Bloom.

Bloom discovers that under the right circumstances they could make more money producing a Broadway flop than they could with a hit. The two set out to produce the worst Broadway musical of all time. But what will they do when their sure-to-offend musical becomes a surprise sensation? You'll find out with this great big, over-the-top, fun-filled musical comedy. The Producers will be a spectacular finale to a once-in-a-lifetime season!
