The Producers

Manchester Royal Exchange Theatre’s production of hit musical The Producers runs from November 30 to January 26.

Producer Max Bialystock has a string of failures in his wake. But his downtrodden accountant Leo Bloom thinks that could be a good thing: a producer could make more money with a dud than a hit.
