MACABRE Theatre Company have a big year planned for 2023.  It is the 10th year they have been bringing musical theatre productions to the stage here on the Fraser Coast. Matthew King opened the Company in 2013 with an adaption of the classic Peter Pan. Since then he has produced and directed many productions, most recently the teen musical production of The Little Mermaid.

The next production with rehearsals well underway is Broadway’s smash hit, The Producers.

The Producers is a musical comedy that tells the story of two showbiz producers, Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom, who team up to stage a flop in order to make a fortune.

They set out to find the worst musical script they can find, and end up discovering a play called “Springtime for Hitler,” written by Franz Liebkind, an eccentric former Nazi. Max and Leo then hire a flamboyant director, Roger De Bris, to turn the offensive script into a musical.

Despite their initial intentions, the show becomes a hit, leading to chaos and mishaps. Along the way, Max and Leo meet a wide range of characters, including a Swedish bombshell named Ulla, who becomes their secretary and love interest.

The Producers is a satirical take on the entertainment industry, as well as a witty commentary on the themes of greed, ambition, and fame. With catchy songs, hilarious one-liners and over-the-top dance numbers, this Tony Award-winning musical is a must-see for any lover of musical theatre.

Later in the year will see the return of Peter Pan to delight and entertain us. Look out for further information coming soon. In the meantime though, be sure to mark your calendars for The Producers.

Performances will be held at The Brolga Theatre on Friday 19th May at 7.30pm and a matinee on Saturday 20th May at 1.30pm.
