	wcbstv.com - 'The Producers' To End Broadway Run In April
		The musical, which won a record-breaking 12 Tony Awards including best musical, was based on Brooks' 1968 film about two charlatan producers who scam little old ladies out of their money to put on a flop Broadway show.
		The St. James will house Brooks' next show, a stage version of another of his films, "Young Frankenstein." The musical is expected to open on Broadway this fall after a tryout in a city to be announced.
		But "The Producers" became the first open-ended engagement to charge that much for a majority of its seats.

		The original film version was reworked for the stage musical and the limitations of a stage.
		The Broadway street scene is obviously a set and in Biallystock's office at no time do we turn around and see the fourth wall, everything is filmed front on, like a stage.
		I found Chicago to be the worst adaptation of a stage musical in film history.

	Broadway: The American Musical . Memorable Musicals . The Producers \| PBS
		The story was outrageous: flop-covered theatrical producer Max Bialystock realizes the road to his financial redemption lies in producing the worst musical ever written, raising 25,000 percent of the capital, and pocketing it all when the show is a one-night-only disaster.
		Starring two of Broadway's best musical comedians, Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick, the show rocketed its way to Broadway (after a sell-out engagement in Chicago) with $17 million in advance sales -- less than half of "Miss Saigon"'s advance, but huge for a musical originating in America.
		It won a record 12 Tony Awards, and when Lane and Broderick briefly returned to their roles in early 2004, they were the highest-paid performers in Broadway history.

	Online NewsHour: "The Producers" - June 5, 2001
		RAY SUAREZ: It was that kind night for "The Producers"-- the Broadway phenomenon that took a record 12 Tony Awards including three for the musical's creator, Mel Brooks.
		And that's a musical that is really about something that is sort of disturbing and upsetting in a lot of ways and also musical and wonderful.
		Maybe the musical a forum for really expressing something is kind of over it by now, and this is just rehash, which is, you know, what Broadway is really about at this point.

	Broadway series snares blockbuster 'The Producers' - PittsburghLIVE.com
		As in Mel Brooks' 1968 classic film, "The Producers" is a comedy about a Broadway producer and an accountant who set out to swindle investors by producing a flop.
		The musicals "Some Like It Hot" and "Sugar" are based on the late Billy Wilder's film comedy about two musicians who witness a mob killing and attempt to escape the murderers' pursuit by disguising themselves as members of an all-girls band.
		Also still on Broadway, it received a Tony nomination for best musical and nine other nominations in 2001, but lost to "The Producers," which swept every category for which it was nominated.

	Brooks hits Broadway jackpot with 'The Producers' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The musical is based on Brooks' 1968 cult movie about a failed producer and a frustrated accountant who discover that if they oversell shares in a Broadway show (say, 25,000 percent), they can keep all of the "extra" money if it flops.
		When "The Producers" opens, Bialystock is about to suffer his latest catastrophe, a musical version of "Hamlet" titled "Funny Boy." But the producer won't take failure lying down, after all, he's the one who created "summer stock in the winter" and "theater in the square, no one had a good seat."
		Long a staple of vaudeville sketches, of which "The Producers" is an extended example, the buxom blond and her comic paramour exude an honest tenderness that does not offend.

	CNN.com - Entertainment - Mel Brooks comes to Broadway with 'The Producers' - April 19, 2001
		From the "Springtime for Hitler" number in "The Producers" (1968) to "The French Mistake" in "Blazing Saddles" to the title tune in "High Anxiety" (1977), his movies are full of all-stops-out song-and-dance numbers.
		In "The Producers," Bialystock and Bloom's ruse is found out when their hoped-for flop, "Springtime for Hitler," becomes a huge hit.
		The Broadway "Producers" also looks like a huge hit, but Brooks, fortunately, probably doesn't need to worry that he'll end up like his dishonest protagonists.

		The associate producer is usually responsible for raising a percentage of the capital, but they don’t have creative control over the show.
		The perk of being an associate producer is that they usually have some sort of participation in the profits of the show.
		A good producer can look at a project and know that he or she can raise the money, get the show up on stage, but not only that, a good producer knows how to make money with a show.

		He is the winner of the Best Score for a Musical, Best Book for a Musical (shared with co-author Thomas Meehan) and Best Musical of the 2000-2001 Broadway season.
		He wrote two songs, "Springtime for Hitler," the show's extravaganza centerpiece, as well as the jailhouse finale, "Prisoners of Love." No theatrical producer would touch it, claiming there were too many scenes, too many characters and too many musicians in a pit band that would only play for two musical numbers.
		The two raise money for the world's worst show, a musical based on the life of Hitler, with the intention of running off with the surplus of cash once the show flops.
