The Firehouse Theatre continues the 2026 “Raise Your Voice” Season with Mel Brooks’ wildly entertaining musical comedy The Producers, running March 12-29. This multi-Tony Award-winning Broadway sensation follows a down-on-his-luck theatrical producer and his mild-mannered accountant who devise a scheme to stage the most notorious flop in history, only to discover their guaranteed disaster is an unexpected smash hit.
Packed with outrageous humor, dazzling production numbers, and unforgettable characters,
The Producers is a fast-paced romp through the absurd side of show business. Audiences will follow Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as they scramble through auditions, investors, rehearsals, and mounting chaos while trying to keep their get-rich-quick scheme from unraveling. The musical showcases Mel Brooks’ signature blend of satire, spectacle, and laugh-out-loud comedy.
Rated PG-13, the production delivers big Broadway energy with plenty of mischievous fun along the way.
Director Caitlin Martelle says audiences can expect, “a witty, outrageous spoof of show business, where no joke is left on the table and everything (and everyone) is fair game.” She adds, “I think Firehouse audiences are in for a laugh-out- loud spectacle of vaudevillian antics, and that signature Mel Brooks biting satire!” Actor
Grant Hollowell, who plays Max Bialystock, notes, “Mel Brooks has always pushed the boundaries of comedy without apology, which is why this show still resonates today.” He adds that the show’s physical comedy “challenges us to take swings, make big moves, and really play in order to see what works, and what lands the biggest laughs.”
Filled with show-stopping songs, bold choreography, and a cast ready to embrace the mayhem, The Producers promises an unforgettable night of theatrical hilarity for longtime musical lovers and first-time audiences alike.
Tickets to The Producers, running at The Firehouse Theatre March 12-29, are $41 for adults and $37 for students, seniors, educators, and first responders. Saturday matinee performances are $37.
