This show is a Mel Brooks classic. The silly puns, innuendos, and facial expressions that you would expect from a Mel Brooks movie are all combined with fabulous costumes and music. If you are a Mel Brooks fan, you'll enjoy The Producers.

Springtime for Hitler, the play produced by "The Producers" is what I imagine "Hitler on Ice" to be (as "previewed" at the end of History of the World Part I). By making fun of Hitler in the most absurd way possible, Brooks has been able to get a small bit of revenge on the dictator.

Like all Mel Brooks stuff, there are a lot of plays on stereotypes. Because of that and the sexual innuendo, I don't think that the show would be good for kids.

I actually really liked this show. It was just like the movie with Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane portrayed it, the set, effects, script, and all! I had the chance to see Tony Danza play Max, which was very cool! He was one of my favorite stars to watch when I was growing up on Who's the Boss! He has aged a bit, but he is still as energetic as ever! It was slightly weird watching him sing though (although this show is mostly a "talking" sort of singing than anything!).

If you want a comedic show with singing, dancing, and a little more than standup, watch this show. It might even be nice to get tickets for your parents to this. I'm pretty sure they'll enjoy it as well, as my parents would!

After watching the movie, I thought the live action performance would be slightly more entertaining than David Hasselhoff eating a hamburger off of the floor. I was pleasantly suprised. Tony Danza does an excellent job as Max Bialystock, and the show merits being seen a second time.

So, yes, you can Hassle the Hoff.  

The new MEL BROOKS musical, starring David Hasselhoff as the outrageously flamboyant Roger DeBris!  Watch and laugh as DeBris, mousy accountant Leo Bloom and brash Broadway king Max Bialystock stage a "surefire flop" musical called Springtime for Hitler.

Hasselhoff was absolutely hilarious, from the minute he showed up on stage wearing a dress!!  He did a great job playing a drag queen.  The show was witty and funny.  All of the actors did a great job.  The costumes were great.  I would recommend this show.  

The Paris theatre was very HOT.  People were fanning themselves and making comments about the A/C (it was obviously not on).  
Out of all the theatres in Vegas, I dislike the set-up of this one the most (as far as restrooms are concerned).  Make sure you go to the restroom before going into the showroom.  

5 stars for the show
2 stars for the heat

On the side, before you go see The Producers, watch David Hasselhoff in this music video.  It is hilarious:  http://video.google.co...
Think this was meant as a joke or is he serious?

Update:  I saw the show again with Tony Danza!  He puts on an amazing performance!  This is still a 5 star show in my book!  Go see it!  You'll be glad you did!

This show was hilarious!  I'm 21, and I was laughing a lot throughout the show.  Even my grandmother, who has seen it three times before, enjoyed this show.  The "Springtime For Hitler" sub-show has to be seen to be believed!

As for bringing your children along, I would caution against it if they are young.  Older teenagers (15+) should be fine, and are probably aware of the sexual innuendo that sometimes appears in the show.  The other main issue for younger children is there is a scene where the showgirls in the sub-show have their breasts showing.

absolutely hilarious!  we completely enjoyed ourselves and could not stop laughing!  the cast was great and very energetic and you can tell the actors/actresses loved the role they were playing.  we didn't need the hoff!  the set design was great and transitions were all very innovative!   i definitely recommend this show!

from the prior review, i would say the theater wasn't that hot at all in fact i was quite comfortable.  they probably took care of any A/C issues that were there.
