The Producers

Woodminster Amphitheater
3300 Joaquin Miller Rd Oakland

Everyone flips for a flop in the mixed-up, utterly hilarious world of The Producers. Mel Brooks' Tony Award-winning Broadway musical is the story of broke Broadway producer Max Bialystock and his mild-mannered accountant, Leo Bloom. Desperate for cash, the two hatch a plan to produce a musical that is sure to be a failure. The show'll close immediately, then they'll cut and run with the unspent production money. What could possibly go wrong? Turns out, their "big flop" ends up as a smash hit, that's what. The Producers skewers the over-the-top absurdities of musical theater while delivering an unexpectedly heartfelt tale of true friendship. Come early and picnic on the grounds of Woodminster Amphitheater before the show for a perfect summer evening of entertainment.
