‘The Producers, the Musical’ to be performed in Waterville April 6-15

WATERVILLE — The Waterville Opera House, will present one of the most outrageously offensive and off-the-wall musicals ever to be made — “The Producers, the Musical.”
Adapted from Mel Brooks’ 1968 classic comedy starring Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel, the movie adaptation will have the audience staring in amazement and roaring with laughter from Friday, April 6 through Sunday, April 15 at Waterville City Hall, 1 Common St.

In “The Producers,” the curtain rises on a washed-up Broadway producer, Max Bialystock, and his nervous accountant, Leo Bloom.
Together, the two plan an extravagant scheme to swindle their supporters– hundreds of sex-starved Little Old Ladies — out of millions by planning the biggest Broadway flop in history. To ensure the show closes on opening night, they find the most offensive script possible (“Springtime for Hitler”), hire the worst director possible, and fill the stage with horrible actors. What could possibly go right?
Showtimes are April 6, 7, 13 and 14 at 7:30 p.m. and April 8 and 15 at 2 p.m. The show is rated PG-13 for profanity.
