Hardin County Playhouse gearing up for run of The Producers
The Tony Award-winning musical, Mel Brooks’s The Producers, opens at the Hardin County Playhouse on Friday.
The Producers is a Broadway musical based on the 1960’s Mel Brooks movie of the same name. Ron Blair, who plays Max Bialystock in the production, says that the show is hilarious.
“This is going to be one of the funniest shows the Hardin County Playhouse has ever done in its 55-year history,” Blair said. “It’s just an incredible show, it’s incredibly clever, and the songs are absolutely phenomenal.”
The story revolves around Bialystock and Leo Blum, played by Jackson Smith, who want to produce a Broadway flop in order to fleece investors, but of course things go awry, creating comedy gold. The songs are one of the things that drew Blair to the project.
“More than anything, the songs that Bialystock sings, they’re just fun,” Blair said. “As a performer, I have a really good time with them. They’re very difficult songs, and that probably lends itself to my enjoyment of them because they were a challenge, so yeah, that really drew me to it, and just the character playing a con man, a funny con man, I have a lot of great bits in the show.”
The Hardin County Playhouse is a non-profit organization that has been producing award-winning theatrical entertainment for 55 years with a goal of fostering local talent in all areas having to do with theatre.
“We have a focus on educating young performers and artists in every aspect of theatre, which can include lighting design or set design, painting sets, costuming,” Blair said. “There are so many jobs within the theatre, and we try to have all of those represented whenever we do shows.”
The Producers is not for children under 15. It opens Friday at 7:00 p.m. and runs for two weekends at the ECTC Science Building auditorium. For more information and to get tickets, go to www.hardincountyplayhouse.com.
