Theater of the Stars Announces THE PRODUCERS

opens at the Fox Theatre this Friday

Atlanta, GA (January 17, 2013) – THE PRODUCERS, the winningest musical in Broadway history, returns to Atlanta after an 8 year absence opens at the Fox Theatre this Friday - January 31^st. The principal cast members will be Michael McCormick (Max), Atlanta native Stacey Todd Holt (Leo Bloom), Tom Alan Robbins (Franz), Patrick Boyd (Carmen Ghia) and Laura Seibert (Ulla).

Bialystock and Bloom!  Those names should strike terror and hysteria in anyone familiar with Mel Brooks’ classic cult comedy film.  The plot is simple: a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history thereby bilking their backers (all "little old ladies") out of millions of dollars. Only one thing goes awry: the show is a smash hit! At the core of the insanely funny adventure is a poignant emotional journey of two very different men who become friends. With a truly hysterical book co-written by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan (ANNIE) and music and lyrics by Mr. Brooks, THE PRODUCERS skewers Broadway traditions and takes no prisoners as it proudly proclaims itself an "equal opportunity offender!"  

THE PRODUCERS will play the Fabulous Fox Theatre from January 25 - 31, 2013.  Eight performances are as follows:  Friday, January 25 at 8:00 p.m.; Saturday, January 26 at 2:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.; Sunday, January 27 at 1:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.; Tuesday, January 29 at 8:00 p.m.; Wednesday, January 30 at 8:00 p.m and Thursday, January 31 at 8:00 p.m.
