EXETER UNIVERSITY FOOTLIGHTS SOCIETY PRESENTS
The Producers
Wed 25 - Sat 28 January 2017

Sat Matinee 2.30pm
When two theatrical schmucks discover that they can make more money with a flop than with a hit, they set out to produce the loser of all losers – a ridiculous musical about Hitler, guaranteed to close in one night!
Adapted from Brooks’ 1968 movie of the same name, and winner of a record-breaking 12 Tony Awards, The Producers is an absurd, gleefully irreverent, and fast-paced satiric comedy with a boisterous swing score parodying Golden Age Broadway musicals.
Footlights is Exeter University’s largest musical theatre society, now in its 31st year.
Book by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan
