This laugh-out-loud musical comedy brings big characters\, big laughs\, and even bigger showstoppers to the stage. Whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering this smash hit for the first time\, you won’t want to miss the over-the-top antics\, unforgettable songs\, and non-stop hilarity that make The Producers one of Broadway’s most celebrated comedies. \nThe 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! The antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as they manoeuvre their way fecklessly through finding a show (the gloriously offensive “Springtime For Hitler”)\, hiring a director\, raising the money and finally going to prison for their misdeeds is a lesson in broad comic construction. At the core of the insanely funny adventure is a poignant emotional journey of two very different men who become friends. \nWith 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!” \nProduction team\n\nDirector: Neil Silcock\nMusical Director: Craig Price\nChoreographer: Stuart Maher\n\nCast\n\nMax Bialystock – Gareth Earl\nLeo Bloom – Jack Parry\nUlla – Chloe Pennington\nFranz Liebkind – Ben Greenall\nRoger DeBris – Michael Schneck\nCarmen Ghia – Kyle Hickman\nHold Me\, Touch Me – Valarie Ball\nLick Me\, Bite Me – Susie Lydiate\n\nCredits\nBook by MEL BROOKS & THOMAS MEEHAN  | Music and Lyrics by MEL BROOKS\nOriginal direction and choreography by Susan Stroman | By special arrangement with StudioCanal\nThis amateur production is presented by arrangement with Music Theatre InternationalAll authorised performance materials are also supplied by MTI www.MTIShows.co.uk URL:https://thezodiac.org/event/mel-brooks-the-producers-chester-1-nov-evening/ LOCATION:The Hammond\, Mannings Lane\, Chester\, Chester\, CH2 4ES\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Musical ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://thezodiac.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Producers-header.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20251101T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20251101T170000 DTSTAMP:20260430T042658 CREATED:20251007T093251Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251007T214704Z UID:10000023-1762005600-1762016400@thezodiac.org SUMMARY:Mel Brooks’ The Producers DESCRIPTION:Rehearsing “King of Broadway” for The Producers\n \n \n \n \n Dance rehearsal for The Producers\n \n \n \n \n 29th October 2025 – 1st November 2025\nEvening performances at 7:30pm plus Saturday matinee at 2pm\nThe Hammond\, Chester \nSynopsis\nStep into the outrageous world of Mel Brooks’ Tony Award–winning masterpiece The Producers!

Only one thing goes awry: the show is a smash hit! The antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as they manoeuvre their way fecklessly through finding a show (the gloriously offensive “Springtime For Hitler”)\, hiring a director\, raising the money and finally going to prison for their misdeeds is a lesson in broad comic construction. At the core of the insanely funny adventure is a poignant emotional journey of two very different men who become friends. \nWith 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!” \nProduction team\n\nDirector: Neil Silcock\nMusical Director: Craig Price\nChoreographer: Stuart Maher\n\nCast\n\nMax Bialystock – Gareth Earl\nLeo Bloom – Jack Parry\nUlla – Chloe Pennington\nFranz Liebkind – Ben Greenall\nRoger DeBris – Michael Schneck\nCarmen Ghia – Kyle Hickman\nHold Me\, Touch Me – Valarie Ball\nLick Me\, Bite Me – Susie Lydiate\n\nCredits\nBook by MEL BROOKS & THOMAS MEEHAN  | Music and Lyrics by MEL BROOKSOriginal direction and choreography by Susan Stroman | By special arrangement with StudioCanalThis amateur production is presented by arrangement with Music Theatre InternationalAll authorised performance materials are also supplied by MTI www.MTIShows.co.uk URL:https://thezodiac.org/event/mel-brooks-the-producers-chester-29-oct/ LOCATION:The Hammond\, Mannings Lane\, Chester\, Chester\, CH2 4ES\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Musical ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://thezodiac.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Producers-header.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250326T073000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250329T220000 DTSTAMP:20260430T042658 CREATED:20250401T135007Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250522T092508Z UID:10000002-1742974200-1743285600@thezodiac.org SUMMARY:Fame The Musical DESCRIPTION:Fame the musical\nThe Grange Theatre\, Hartford \n26th to 29th March 2025 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Fame the musical\n \n \n \n \n Fame the musical\n \n \n \n \n Fame the musical\n \n \n \n \n Fame the musical\n \n \n \n \n Fame the musical\n \n \n \n \n Fame the musical\n \n \n \n \n Fame the musical\n \n \n \n \n Fame the musical\n \n \n \n \n Fame the musical\n \n \n \n \n Fame the musical\n \n \n \n \n Fame the musical\n \n \n \n \n Fame the musical\n \n \n \n \n Fame the musical\n \n \n \n \n Fame the musical\n \n \n \n \n Fame the musical\n \n \n \n \n Fame the musical\n \n \n \n \n Fame the musical\n \n \n \n \n Fame the musical\n \n \n \n \n Fame the musical\n \n \n \n \n Fame the musical URL:https://thezodiac.org/event/fame-the-musical/ LOCATION:The Grange Theatre\, Hartford\, Bradburns Lane\, Hartford\, CW8 1LU CATEGORIES:Musical ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://thezodiac.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/485374038_1202297381901912_7763481932500140606_n.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20241113 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20241117 DTSTAMP:20260430T042658 CREATED:20250409T182050Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250522T095153Z UID:10000006-1731456000-1731801599@thezodiac.org SUMMARY:Elf The Musical DESCRIPTION:Reviews and Recognition\n“How exciting to get Santa to play himself!

It was definitely worth the three year wait!” – NODA \n★★★★ “If we ever needed a reminder of just how much the world of theatre was tipped on it’s head by Covid\, then the fact that it’s taken three years for Zodiac’s production of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels to reach the milestone of opening night will do just that… there’s no swindle here – Zodiac haven’t missed a trick in delivering a solid\, comic show that will have you rooting for the ‘bad’ guys.” – Anna Durham\, North West End \nSummary\nDirty Rotten Scoundrels – The Musical is based on the classic comedy film starring Sir Michael Caine and Steve Martin. Be transported to the French Riviera and its decadent underworld\, as two seasoned swindlers attempt to hoodwink a millionaire heiress.
