This ultimate musical comedies is set in New York, 1959. Max Bialystock
was once the king, the king of old Broadway. Now all his shows close
on opening night. He's visited by the neurotic accountant Leo Bloom,
who proposes a scheme tailor-made for producers who can only make
flops: raise far more money than you need, then make sure the show
is despised. No one will be interested in it, so you can pocket
the surplus. To this end, they produce a musical called “Springtime
for Hitler” written by escaped Nazi, Franz Liebken. Then they
get the insanely flamboyant Roger De Bris to direct. Finally, they
hire as a lead actress the loopy Swedish bombshell Ulla (she does
a family name but we don’t have room to put in!!). Opening
night draws near, what could go wrong?
Come and find out for your self...
