“Music@Noon: Lehmann & Perry,” Farnsworth Museum, Rockland

Oct. 10-13, Thursday-Sunday, 7:30pm/Thurs.-Sat, 2pm/Sun, “The Producers,” Once called “the King of Broadway”, theater producer Max Bialystock is down on his luck. He’s had a string of flops, all funded by “lonely little old lady investors” that gladly write him checks in return for “sexual favors”. His latest show “Funny Boy: A Musical Version of Hamlet” is so bad that it closes after one night. Mousy accountant Leo Bloom arrives the next day to audit Max’s books and discovers that under the right circumstances “a producer can make more money with a flop than a hit”. Max proposes a scheme: “Step 1: We find the worst play ever written. Step 2: We hire the worst director in town. Step 3: We raise two million dollars… One for me, one for you. There’s a lot of little old ladies out there! Step 4: We hire the worst actors in New York and open on Broadway, and before you can say Step 5: We close on Broadway, take our two million, and go to Rio.” Leo very reluctantly agrees. Everything seems to be going perfectly, except for one problem: the show turns out to be a smash hit. “The Producers” is in many ways considered Mel Brooks’ masterpiece, bursting at the seams with his signature brand of comedy made famous in classic films like “Blazing Saddles”, “Spaceballs”, and “Young Frankenstein”.
