Next to The Lion King, The Producers has to be the biggest production I have seen in London to date. Elvira managed to somehow get us some relatively cheap tickets to this mostly sold out event. Yes we were so high up in the nose bleed section that Elvira’s fear of heights came in to play – but hey, seats are seats. And a star sighting at last – Nigella Lawson in a long white coat.

The Producers brings the story of Max Bialystock (played by a brilliant Nathan Lane), struggling producer, and Leo Bloom (played by an equally brilliant Lee Evans), nervous accountant, to the stage. In a money-making scheme the two aim to produce the worst musical ever to be shown on Broadway by trying to find a place that is guaranteed to offend just about everyone. They think they find it in an ex-nazi’s story about Hitler’s rise.

Sure there is profanity, vulgarity, gay gags, Nazi jokes and other offensive humour however it is delivered in such a way that you can’t help but laugh and join in on the fun. Jerry Springer – The Opera it is definitely not.
