The Producers is a Broadway musical comedy by Mel Brooks. It follows a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer, Max Bialystock, and his timid accountant, Leo Bloom, who scheme to produce a flop in order to swindle investors. They choose the worst musical ever written, Springtime for Hitler, but unexpectedly, the show becomes a massive success. The story is filled with outrageous humor, quirky characters, and catchy songs, culminating in a hilarious and chaotic conclusion.
