Wolverhampton Musical Comedy Company to bring Mel Brooks musical The Producers to Grand Theatre
Wolverhampton Musical Comedy Company return to the city this year with Mel Brooks’ musical The Producers.
The production stars Karl Steele as Leo Bloom and Greg Yates from the Grand Theatre’s recent productions of Brassed Off and Ladies’ Day as Max Bialystock.
Dan Smith will play Franz Liebkind, Dave Hayward plays Roger Dupree, Mike Astley is Carmen Ghia and Rosie Harper plays Ulla. The cast is completed by an ensemble of local performers.
The show follows the story of theatre producer Max Bialystock who has a string of failures in his wake. But his downtrodden accountant Leo Bloom thinks that could be a good thing, a producer could make more money with a dud than a hit.
They set out to find the worst script, the worst director and the worst actors in the industry, produce the biggest flop in Broadway history, and make a heap of cash in the process.
Established in 1938, Wolverhampton Musical Comedy Company (MUSCOM) is a young, vibrant and exciting theatre company full of local, home grown talent.
Over the past decade, MUSCOM has performed award winning musicals on the Grand Theatre stage including Grease, Footloose, High School Musical Copacabana, West Side Story, Sweet Charity and Half A Sixpence.
The Producers comes to Wolverhampton Grand Theatre from March 5 to 9.
