"The Producers"
From the event description:
Get ready for another imaginative staging of a big musical at the intimate Celebration Theatre in Los Angeles as "The Producers" arrives in all its overblown, Ovation Recommended glory. When a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history, things go awry when the show is a hit. "The Producers" skewers Broadway traditions and takes no prisoners as it proudly proclaims itself an equal opportunity offender.
When: Friday, Aug. 23, 8 p.m.
Where: Celebration Theatre at The Lex, 6760 Lexington Ave.
Price: $50
