A New Mel Brooks Musical

Considered one of the funniest musicals ever to grace the stage, the comical story follows down-and-out producer Max Bialystock who decides the only way to make any money out of showbiz is to produce the worst musical ever, get it financed and then run off with the leftovers once the show has flopped.
Alongside the worst director they can find, Max and his hapless accountant set about producing Broadway's newest show: Hitler – The Musical!
