The Waterville Opera House Presents An Outrageous Musical Unlike Any Other

The Waterville Opera House (WOH) is proud to present one of the most outrageously offensive and off-the-wall musicals ever to be made - The Producers the musical! Adapted from Mel Brooks' 1968 classic comedy staring Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel, this maniacal, musical movie adaptation will have the audience staring in amazement and roaring with laughter on opening night Friday, April 6, 2018. Don't miss this buzzworthy show, it's sure to close by Sunday, April 15, 2018!

In The Producers, the curtain rises on a washed-up Broadway producer, Max Bialystock and his nervous accountant, Leo Bloom. Together, the two plan an extravagant scheme to swindle their supporters - hundreds of sex-starved Little Old Ladies - out of millions by planning the biggest Broadway flop in history. To ensure the show closes on opening night, they find the most offensive script possible ("Springtime for Hitler"), hire the worst director possible, and fill the stage with horrible actors. What could possibly go right? To find out, reserve your tickets today!
