Rehearsals are now officially underway for the highly anticipated West End transfer of the Menier Chocolate Factory’s critically acclaimed production of Mel Brooks' The Producers. Producers David Babani, Nica Burns & Max Weitzenhoffer, Kevin Salter, Seaview, Creative Partners Productions, and 2ontheaisleBDWY today announced the complete cast joining the smash-hit musical at the Garrick Theatre.
The beloved satire, with book, music, and lyrics by Mel Brooks (and book co-written by Thomas Meehan), is directed by Patrick Marber. It is set to run from August 30, 2025, to February 21, 2026, with a press night scheduled for Monday, September 15.
The previously announced leading cast members include Andy Nyman as the scheming Max Bialystock, Marc Antolin as the timid Leo Bloom, Trevor Ashley as Roger DeBris, Raj Ghatak as Carmen Ghia, Harry Morrison as Franz Liebkind, and Joanna Woodward as Ulla.
They will be joined by a talented ensemble featuring Alex Lodge (Storm Trooper), Kelsie-Rae Marshall (Hold-Me-Touch-Me), Megan Armstrong, Olly Christopher, Gabrielle Cocca (Dance Captain), Nolan Edwards, Michael Franks, Matt Gillett (Resident Director), Esme Kennedy, Sinead Kenny, Josh Kiernan (Assistant Dance Captain), Kate Parr, Emma Robotham-Hunt, Pierce Rogan, Hollie Jane Stephens, Jermaine Woods, and Ryan Pidgen.
Following its sold-out run at the Menier Chocolate Factory, this first major London revival of The Producers promises to deliver the "equal opportunity offender" humour that made the original Broadway production a record-breaking twelve-time Tony Award winner. Audiences can look forward to witnessing Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom's hilariously disastrous plot to create Broadway's biggest flop spectacularly backfire, all to thunderous applause.
