As conceived by Robert Lepage, the innovative Canadian writer-director, the $165 million action musical is unquestionably the most technically complex show ever devised, achieving marvels Broadway is too timid and strapped even to dream of.

...Brooks’ comedic genius, the writer/director of classics as “Spaceballs,” “Blazing Saddles,” and “Robin Hood: Men in Tights.” His newest venture is the film adaptation of his monstrously successful Broadway comedy musical, “The Producers,” itself an adaptation of his directorial debut.
