Book Reviews of Producers, The
Book Review: A fascinating, funny insight into making the Broadway show
Summary: 5 Stars
As a lifelong fan of the Producers movie, I was prepared to be amused at what I saw as a reheat of a great film. I was wrong. This is no reheat, this is a whole new bigger, better and funnier Producers. The first half of the book is written by Mel Brooks and Tom Meehan as they describe how the Broadway musical version came about. As an insight into how musicals are born, their account is both entertaining and interesting. But because its the Producers, their account is achingly funny too. For die-hard fans of the movie, fear not. all the best bits are still there but with a truckload more. 17 new songs, new dance routines and, of course, even funnier jokes and one-liners, add up to Tony-award-winning excellence.The second half of the book is devoted to the musical's words and music, with lyrics from the show. Mel Brooks has written 17 new songs and they help develop the extended plot of the 1967 movie. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoyed the film, likes comedy, likes musicals, has a sense of humour and wants proof that the original Producers could be improved upon.
