Milton Keynes Theatre, Milton Keynes

We had the privilege of watching the Mel Brooks musical – The Producers tonight at the MK theatre and on the back of it, I cannot recommend it enough. The brilliantly bizarre comedy show features well-known stars such as Jason Manford, Phil Jupitus, Louis Spence and David Bedella. Who knew that the funny Manchester man Jason Manford could act, sing and dance so naturally in a main role as Leo Bloom; an accountant dreaming of becoming a broadway producer; all whilst constantly supplying genius pieces of comedy I might add. He is complimented by the other main star of the show – Cory English, who plays Max Bialystock, a broadway producer whose career has taken a nose dive, and will seemingly do anything to get it back on track! His scene in jail was a personal highlight as he did a recap of the entire show so far through the medium of comical song and dance. I couldn’t have cast a more suitable person myself for the role that Phil Jupitus took on; Franz Liebkind, a rumbustious escaped Nazi that wrote the play that the two producers decide to use as their ‘guaranteed flop’ in order to make a quick buck. As you may expect, Louis Spence teamed with David Bedella create some wonderfully camp, and side splittingly funny scenes. The entrance of Ulla, a Swedish actress auditioning for the play, quickly balances this out as she strips down, dances and quick changes in a racy number. This is a production that doesn’t take itself too seriously, which makes it all the funnier, with a relaxed and happy atmosphere. The stars of the show quite literally provide a laugh a minute from the onset and throughout.
