Artistic Director of the Menier Chocolate Factory David Babani commented, “I am enormously proud of the entire team working across The Producers – the journey thus far at the Menier has been an utter joy from start to finish, with an incomparable cast led by the very brilliant Andy Nyman and Marc Antolin. To have the opportunity to do it all again, and grow the production as we transfer to the West End with our brilliant partners Nica Burns, Max Weitzenhoffer and Kevin Salter, is an absolute privilege.” 

Producer Nica Burns added, “Whatever tickles your funny bone, you’ll find The Producers a total hoot. Laughter and joy throughout courtesy of the incomparable Mel Brooks and David Babani’s terrific production.  Don’t walk, run to the box office!”
