It may have taken him until his 70s to reveal it, but there must always have been a secret Broadway composer hidden within Mel Brooks’s heart. His original score for the theatrical presentation of his hit 1968 film The Producers exhibits his natural gift for comic songwriting. With hilarious lyrics matching frothy melodies, all brought off with the exuberant styling of two Broadway troopers, Natahan Lane and Matthew Broderick, the show’s score extends the outrageous comic tropes of the unforgettable plot. Bawdy, satiric, fun-filled, and even poignant when called for, Brooks’s songs exist quite well apart from the show itself, a measure of his newly uncovered talent. And yes, old favorites like “Springtime for Hitler” and “Prisoners of Love” are here in all their excessive glory.-- William PearL

Mel Brooks' The Producers is based on an intriguing conceit -- a musical stage adaptation of a narrative comedy film about a Broadway musical play. It succeeds brilliantly, as the transferred work is funnier than the original film upon which it's based. Brooks reveals himself to be a highly capable songwriter for musical comedy, both satirizing and celebrating classic musical styles. "Springtime for Hitler" and "Prisoners of Love" remain from the film version, and Brooks comes up with another assortment of catchy tunes for the stage version, including "The King of Broadway," "Keep It Gay," and "That Face." The songs and book showcase Brooks at his zaniest, crudest, and most politically incorrect. His cause is ably aided and abetted by his stars, Nathan Lane (Max Bialystock) and Matthew Broderick (Leo Bloom). Their performances are both capable and witty. Brad Oscar (Franz Liebkind) and Cady Huffman (Ulla) also stand out among the solid cast. The Producers' (Original Broadway Cast Recording) is an excellent representation of the show, with key bits of dialogue from the book between the songs. It's the next best thing to seeing the actual play. Mary Grady
