Based on the 1968 film of the same name, this Tony Award winning Broadway smash hit is on the JPAS stage! Down-on-his-luck Broadway producer, Max Bialystock, and his nerdy, young accountant, Leo Bloom, concoct a scheme to raise thousands of dollars from backers and then put on a guaranteed flop of a show "Springtime for Hitler." With all the money that will be leftover, the pair will be rich! Only one thing goes wrong: "Springtime for Hitler" turns out to be a gigantic hit! See what happens as Leo and Max become the most infamous producers on the Great White Way!
