Show produces big laughs

As is this entire show. In a pre-show interview, Randy Wheeler mentioned that “The Producers” is as much a dance show as it is a comedy. He wasn’t joking. From quick bits of soft shoe to full-scale production numbers, including a show-stopping bit in “Along Came Bialy” with old-lady characters dancing with walkers, “The Producers” dances across the stage thanks to the brilliant choreography of Jacque Wheeler.
“The Producers” is a Mel Brooks show, so expect some language and adult themes, and, if Brooks is your cup of comedy tea, expect a night full of laughs.
This review is based on Tuesday’s performance.
