The Walnut Street Theatre concludes its landmark 200th anniversary season with an all-new production of Mel Brooks’ Tony-Award winning masterpiece, The Producers. Directed by Marc Robin and featuring some of the best talent from Philadelphia and abroad, The Producers starts May 12, opens May 20 and runs through July 19 on the Walnut Mainstage.
The Producer tells the story of a failed, scheming Broadway producer who teams up with an accountant to scam his investors. But the two find themselves in trouble when their ludicrous new production inexplicably finds itself a hit.
