March 6, 2012 Cincinnati, OH – Loveland Stage Company presents the regional community theater premiere of the Tony Award-winning musical THE PRODUCERS, based on the 1968 movie by Mel Brooks. The winner of 12 Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical and Best Original Score, this Mel Brooks masterpiece chronicles the hilarious adventures of washed-up Broadway producer Max Bialystock and his mild-mannered accountant Leo Bloom, as they scheme to get rich quick by producing the most notorious flop in the history of showbiz. THE PRODUCERS is a comic tour-de-force that spoofs the big, old-fashioned Broadway musical while paying tribute to it at the same time. With a book by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan and music and lyrics by Mel Brooks, THE PRODUCERS will have audiences laughing out loud from overture to finale.
Loveland Stage Company is uniquely qualified to bring Greater Cincinnati its first community theater production of THE PRODUCERS. The show’s large cast, complex staging and massive amounts of costumes demand a company with access to a supremely talented production staff as well as talented performers and dedicated construction crews and stage hands, and Loveland Stage Company is up to the task! Take a peek behind the elaborately decorated proscenium and you’ll find a community theater group that is truly all about community. And that community spirit shines brightly throughout every aspect of THE PRODUCERS, reflecting hundreds of hours of donated time and talent that all come to fruition in a fantastically lush production of spectacular proportions. Loveland Stage Company is truly a performance group drawn from the community, performed for the community by the community.
Loveland’s production of THE PRODUCERS is directed by Tom Cavano and produced by Pat Furterer, with choreography by Marjory Clegg and musical direction by John Nixon.
