Lyric Stage Presents The Producers

Lyric Stage, a musical theatre company dedicated to American performances, is excited to present The Producers from January 11–20, 2024. These performances are the first show at the Moody Performance Hall, which the company will be able to showcase two weekends in a row.

The Producers is about a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant who come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history, thereby bilking their backers (all "little old ladies") out of millions of dollars. Only one thing goes awry: the show is a smash hit! The Producers arrived on Broadway at the St. James Theater on March 22, 2001, where it began with previews leading up to its official opening on April 19, 2001.

Starring Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick, The Producers quickly became the hottest ticket in the history of Broadway, hailed by critics and audiences alike. The show dominated the awards season that year, winning a record 12 Tony Awards and going on to run for 33 previews and 2,502 performances before closing on April 22, 2007.

Lyric Stage’s performance times are Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:30pm, and Saturday and Sunday matinees are at 2:30pm.
