Quick Synopsis
In New York City, a cunning Broadway producer teams up with his timid accountant to scheme a financial scam. They aim to convince wealthy elderly women to invest in an expensive theater production, planning to stage a guaranteed failure so the investors won't demand their money back. Their plan involves producing a deliberately offensive musical about Adolf Hitler, expecting it to flop and protect their profits.
Detailed Synopsis of The Producers
A conniving Broadway producer and his meek accountant plan to profit from charming wealthy old biddies to invest in an overbudget production, and then put on a sure-fire disaster, so nobody will ask for their money back — and what's more disastrous than a tasteless musical celebrating Adolf Hitler.
