Concluding BrightSide’s 14th season will be The Producers, the longest running Broadway musical comedy ever and the winner of 12 Tony Awards. Mel Brooks’s musical was adapted from his 1967 film of the same name that starred Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder. Like the film, the musical follows the hapless producers Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as they attempt to make money by staging the biggest flop in history—only for their ridiculous musical, “Springtime for Hitler,” to become a surprise hit.
The Producers will play from June 12-28, in The Theater at Meiley-Swallow Hall on the campus of North Central College, 31 S. Ellsworth, Naperville. Tickets are $37 for adults and $32 for students and seniors and are on sale now at www.BrightSidetheatre.com or by phone at 630-447-TIXS (8497).
