NEWS: Full Creative Team Announced for West End Transfer of The Producers

The full creative team has now been announced for the upcoming West End transfer of the Menier Chocolate Factory’s production of The Producers, directed by Patrick Marber.

Running at the Garrick Theatre from the 30th August and booking until the 21st February 2026, this transfer of the musical will see Andy Nyman, Marc Antolin, Trevor Ashley, Raj Ghatak, Harry Morrison and Joanna Woodward all reprising their roles from the original Menier run.

Down-on-his-luck Broadway producer Max Bialystock schemes with timid accountant Leo Bloom to create the biggest flop in theatre history – only to have it backfire spectacularly, and with thunderous applause.

Officially opening in the West End on the 15th September, the musical’s creative team includes: Choreography by Lorin Letarro, Set Design by Scott Pask, Costume Design by Paul Farnsworth,Lighting Design by Tim Lutkin, Sound Design by Paul Groothius, Wigs, Hair & Makeup Design by Betty Martini, Musical Supervision and Dance Arrangement by Gareth Valentine, Musical Direction by Matthew Samer, Orchestrations by Larry Blank and Mark Cumberland, Associate Director is Lily Dyble, Associate Choreographer (US) is Michaeljon Slinger, Associate Choreographer (UK) is Anna Woodside, Assistant Director is John Reddel and Resident Director is Mark Gillet.

Talking about the West End run of the production, Patrick Marber said “It has been a great joy to direct this new production of The Producers. Mel Brooks is one of my all-time heroes and in this musical the range of his genius is extraordinary; what mighty characters, what jokes, what songs and lyrics! What flair to find the place where the funny and the offensive meet in delight. It has been such a pleasure to do the show with Andy, Marc and our incredible cast and creative team. I’m thrilled we can now do it all again at the beautiful Garrick Theatre where I hope our production will be even bigger, louder and funnier.”
