Review: 'The Producers'
A classic of film and stage, ‘The Producers’ brings all the goodies to the Canyon Theatre Guild
(The Signal Posted: June 03, 2010 2:11 p.m.)
Last Saturday night the "art zone" of Old Town Newhall felt a bit like Broadway must, with the anticipation of the curtains for two big shows going up at 8 p.m. Parking was hard to find and eager theater patrons roamed the sidewalks. There was definitely an excited energy in the air.
Now, when it comes to the theater, life often imitates art, and, in this case, the hubbub fit perfectly with the opening of "The Producers" at the Canyon Theatre Guild. In this show the action kicks off with theater patrons coming out of the opening of producer Max Bialystock's latest show.
Unfortunately for Bialystock, his show is a flop.
But that's good news for real-life CTG patrons, as the resulting story in "The Producers" works. I mean it really works.

This is a must see play. The only people who should not go and watch this uproariously funny Canyon Theatre Guild production of the Mel Brooks’ classic, the Producers, would be those who recently had surgery and still have stitches. Such people will break them with uncontrollable laughter and for only those folks that will lead to pain. For everyone else it will be a wee bit over two of the funniest hours in their lives.
