The Producers : A Satirical Comedy for the Theater Industry


Wazzup Pilipinas!

The Producers is about two wily theatrical producers who cook up a scheme to get rich by overselling interests in a Broadway flop. The humor of the show draws on ridiculous accents, homosexual stereotypes, and Nazis, along with many show business in-jokes. It is a satirical comedy that is deep enough for both insiders and outsiders of the theater industry.

To be directed by Jaime del Mundo, the Manila premier of THE PRODUCERS will feature top caliber actors Carlo Orosa and Robie Zialcita alternating as Max Bialystock, the beleaguered producer facing bankruptcy, who woos little old ladies into backing his shows.

The role of MAX was portrayed by Zero Mostel (in the 1968 film) and Nathan Lane (in the Broadway musical and the 2005 film)







Once celebrated and fabulously wealthy, Max Bialystock is a fiery, sarcastic, short-tempered, and uncooperative Broadway producer who now finds himself unable to produce a hit. Motivated primarily by money, he will do anything to get it—including (in his own words) “shtupping very little old lady in New York.” His name is taken from the Polish city of BiaƂystok.
