What, no actual their own special black "Aryan" swastikas? boooooo! Deliberately copy-right infringed or stolen from the Hindu Indians and so many other not-so-whitey Germanic cultures as various symbols of good luck and cheer.
Saw a production of this a few years ago. The entire audience was in hysterics. I nearly had a heart attack myself from laughing so hard. It took minutes for everyone to calm down so they could go on with the show. One of the best pieces of theatre I’ve ever seen
Bravo, very well done. I can't believe some of the negative comments here. I've seen The Producers in all its forms, many other attempts by other companies, and been Roger myself. I am impressed with what you all managed to do here.
@@bossross9269 Even german Theatres are performing it every then and when, but it isnt as successful as probably many fear of being framed for visiting it...
I saw this show on Broadway, and one issue that I had with it was that the "Springtime for Hitler" number was way too polished, too professional, too perfect. Leo and Max later sing in "Where Did We Go Right" that they purposely cast actors for the show who were not great singers and dancers, and yet the dancers in the number were so obviously top-quality Broadway dancers and singers. This production in this video-- in a way it is better because I think it looks more like the show that Leo and Max wanted to present. I mean this as no dis of the people in this video, who sang and danced very well. But it just looked more amateurish-- more like the number in the original 1968 movie, which was more authentic in its badness.
I've thought a lot about this and these were people no one else would cast for any reason (In the story) so this was their chance to make it big. To do show what they have to the best of their ability. Their passion and desire to put on a good show resulted in something amazing.
I would love to see a new popular jukebox ensemble cast epic coming-of-age historic biographical war two-part musical, entitled: "World-Wars I and II: The Musical", where it takes place first during WWI (Act I) and then WWII (Act II which could begin with "Springtime For Hitler", recycled, as its evil opening musical number) with an on-stage narrator (who would be seen throughout the show to tell the story) many actors and actresses each portraying the many famous leaders and participants, each professionally with the right accents and impressions, and many spoken-dialogues between each and every musical number. #WorldWarsIandIITheMusical
Am I the only one who likes how slow it is at 8:31? Feels more like a powerful army march, with the cherry on top being Hitler prancing around in front of it lmao
I could’ve sworn that was Matthew Morrison who played as the Nazi General singing “Springtime for Hitler”. Morrison did the same in the Kennedy Center to honor Mel Brooks back in 2009.
In the actual musical/plot, the director of the dance says “I see German soldiers marching through France, played by chorus boys in very tight pants” Basically, the director is a gay stereotype and wants dudes dancing, so that’s why lol. If you haven’t seen the movie or musical, it’s really funny. The stereotypes are never truly negative and the whole show is light hearted
@@ifeelpretty5790 Maybe the tempos were slowed for the tappers?. This is obvs community theater, and the tap line probably wasn't full of speed demons. Great effort, though. And a good staging, especially considering it's community.
@@tomshea8382 My community theatre production lagged a bit on the tempo as well. This one is really good though, some community theatres screw up even the simplest staged musicals and this is a really complex show for community. This was a great effort.
Woah! This is so lacking in energy. Too slow and lumbering. The male singer keeps blocking the stairs and with it the entrances of the girls. The words of the song are hilarious but lost totally. The Nazi costumes are pretty poor. The set is excellent though.
