When Mel Brooks turned his 1968 Academy Award-winning film, The Producers, into a Broadway musical with the help of his co-librettist, Tom Meehan, it quickly became the hottest ticket in town, won an unprecedented twelve Tony Awards and was hailed by Time magazine as 'a gift from the show-biz gods'. In this gorgeously illustrated book, Brooks and Meehan take us backstage, onstage and into the wings, with the entire annotated script, all nineteen songs, costume and set designs and full-colour photos throughout.
