The Producers is a musical adapted by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan from Brooks' 1968 film of the same name, with lyrics written by Brooks and music composed by Brooks and arranged by Glen Kelly and Doug Besterman. As in the film, the story concerns two theatrical producers who scheme to get rich by overselling interests in a Broadway flop. Complications arise when the show unexpectedly turns out to be successful. The humor of the show draws on ridiculous accents, caricatures of homosexuals and Nazis, and many show business in-jokes.
After 33 previews, the original Broadway production opened at the St. James Theatre on April 19, 2001, starring Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick, and ran for 2,502 performances, winning a record-breaking 12 Tony Awards. It spawned a successful London production running for just over two years, national tours in the US and UK, many productions worldwide and a 2005 film version.
David Geffen persuaded Mel Brooks to turn his movie into a stage musical. When Brooks met with Jerry Herman to discuss their working together, Herman declined, telling Brooks that he should do the job himself, as he was a good songwriter. Brooks then asked Thomas Meehan to join him in writing the book for the stage. Brooks persuaded Mike Ockrent and his wife Susan Stroman to join the creative team as director and choreographer. After Ockrent's death in 1999, Stroman agreed to continue as both director and choreographer.
The Producers is a 1968 American satirical comedy film written and directed by Mel Brooks. The film is set in the late 1960s and tells the story of a theatrical producer and an accountant who want to produce a sure-fire Broadway flop. They take more money from investors than they can repay (the shares they sell total more than 100% of any profits) and plan to abscond to Brazil as soon as the play closes, only to see the plan go awry when the show turns out to be a hit.
The film stars Zero Mostel as Max Bialystock, the producer, and Gene Wilder as Leo Bloom, the accountant. It features Dick Shawn as L.S.D., the actor who ends up playing the lead in the musical within the movie, and Kenneth Mars as a playwright and former Nazi soldier, Franz Liebkind.
The Producers was the first film directed by Brooks. He won an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. Decades later, the film was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry and placed 11th on the AFI's 100 Years...100 Laughs list. It was later remade successfully by Brooks as an acclaimed Broadway stage musical, which itself was adapted as a film.
The Producers is a movie about failing producer Max Bialystock (Nathan Lane) and his accountant, Leo Bloom (Matthew Broderick), who scam a group of elderly women out of their nest eggs by convincing them to invest in a horrendously offensive Third Reich-themed musical secretly intended to bomb the moment it opens. But when high-brow Broadway audiences mistakenly assume "Springtime for Hitler" is a satire, Bialystock finds himself with the critical acclaim that has long eluded him -- and the biggest hit of his career. This scene is the production of the play itself, interspersed with scenes of the audience. Special thanks to L weiwei for the Chinese subtitles!

Uh, okay now fuck all this bullshit, I’m fresh off a full clip
Counting this fucking money, did that with no scholarship
I guess what that money taught, so fuck what you niggas thought
My bitch got a porsche truck, like look what that pussy parked
Got that hustler demeanor, fresh and I’m out that two seater
Got to sleep with the reaper, and watch out for them people
Cause the devil be lurkin’, all these pistols are dirty
All my niggas is riders, their clips extended with thirty
I woke up early this morning, thanked the lord I’m alive
Kissed my daughter then told my lady I’m back on the grind
Gotta do it for?, that’s my daily remind
Fuck these bitches, the money, power, respect on my mind
It ain’t no love for the week, ain’t no top on the jeep
Tell them haters I’m over sea’s, I’ll be back in a week
I’m trying to get richer than trump, a couple million for lunch
I need the cover of forbes with we the best on the front
I’m going main, nigga kiss my ass
These niggas be stealing my flow and all, ain’t even mad
I swear my flow is dope as coke, come get your bag
Just bought that aston martin, ymmm’, that fucker fast
Nigga started with a dollar and a dream, show me the cream
All about that profit piling, partner that’s by any means
That fifty-thousand in my pocket busting out the seams
Hopping out that coupe, that roof go missing bitch like bada-bing
Knock knock, bang bang, ever since back then they wanna know who I be
H double-o-d, was running the streets since I was like seventeen
I put it on mama, always dreamed of having a lamborghin’
Them niggas was hating, still I was skating in that?
Oh I mean?
It’s money over bitches, what my niggas claim
Probably in the whip with my little spanish thing
All day, in the back of the back number nine j’s
I be balling, small thing know what I mean?
I say what’s up with them bitches? molly, weed, and some liquor
I’m the type of nigga do you first and then your sister
I’m a savage, with fifty karats
Came from the bottom of the barrel, to living lavish
Blood on my sneakers, brother’s keeper I see dead people
‘bout them figures, squeeze them triggers I’m just soul seeking
I think you pussy, I can smell it on you loud and clear
And since my daddy left me young, I ran up out of fear
And when it come down to my family, bitch I die for them
Blow that chopper through your chest to show you shit is real
