From the producers who brought you THE PRODUCERS comes "Trumped the Musical" a new show starring Matthew Broderick, Nathan Lane, Cloris Leachman and the unlikely candidate himself, Donald Trump.
On last night's JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE After the Oscars Special, Nathan Lane reprised his role as Max Bialystock, and Matthew Broderick recreated Leopold Bloom. Along with some help from Cloris Leachman, they come up with a new get-rich-quick scheme, this time backing a presidential candidate who is sure to bomb in the race. Explains Max, "he has to be the worst candidate in history, a gold-plated nincompoop." Who's their man? None other than Donald Trump! Watch the hilarious video!
THE PRODUCERS musical was adapted by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan from Brooks' 1968 film of the same name, with lyrics written by Brooks and music composed by Brooks. As in the film, the story follows two theatrical producers who scheme to get rich by overselling interests in a Broadway flop.
The original Broadway production opened at the St. James Theatre in April of 2001, starring Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick, and ran for 2,502 performances, winning a record-breaking 12 Tony Awards. It spawned a successful London production running for just over two years, national tours in the US and UK, many productions worldwide and a 2005 film version.
