Global Hit — The Producers in Berlin
The Mel Brooks musical comedy “The Producers” smashed box-office records on Broadway.
And it’s been staged in many countries around the world.
But not in Germany — at least not yet.
The musical tells the story of two New Yorkers who dream up a “get-rich” scheme.
It involves putting on a tasteless show called “Springtime for Hitler.”
Now, there are plans to stage “The Producers” in a German theater once attended by Adolf Hitler himself.
Lone Bech is the spokeswoman for the theater — the Admiral Palast in Berlin.
