The Producers by Mel Brooks (the musical)
Max Bialystock is a washed-up Broadway producer who ekes out a living romancing wealthy elderly women (“angels”) in exchange for money for his next play. Accountant “Leo” Bloom arrives at Max’s office to do his books and discovers a $2,000 discrepancy in the accounts of Max’s last play. Max persuades Leo to hide the minor fraud. Leo has a revelation: a producer could make a lot more money with a flop than a hit by overselling shares in the production, because no one will audit the books of a play that lost money. Max immediately puts this scheme into action.
The play will be produced at Palos Park Rec Center 8901 W 123rd St.
