This is excellent

Never thought someone had the balls to say "Yo lets play this in the one place that so sensitive about their past"

Fun fact: For the Berlin run of the production, they put up big banners on the facade of the theater building resembling the famous red ones with the white dot and the swastika in the middle, but they replaced the swastika with a pretzel. It was hilarious and the right thing to do imo. I saw the show live and was thrilled that this production made it to Berlin. And let me tell you, the audience loved it for all the right reasons! The cast was stunning, the performances were great, the orchestra was fantastic! It's kinda ironic that only a few German musicals can live up to the quality of "The Producers".

[Deutsches Volk:] Deutschland hatte richtig Ärger, Da gab's nix zu feiern. Einer mußte kommen Und das deutsche Reich erneuern. Wer geht uns voran? Wer ist unser Mann? Wir suchten hier und suchten da, Und bald war alles klar! [Sturmtruppengeneral:] Ab heut' ist's Frühling für Hitler und Vaterland, Deutschland wird sonnig und warm. Adolf stimmt nun die Masse ein, So muß die Herrenrasse sein. Frühling für Hitler und Vaterland, Braun wird's bis Bruck an der Mur, Frühling für Hitler und Vaterland, Hey Europa, wir gehen auf Tour! Frühling für Hitler und Vaterland, (Immer Frühling!) Winter für Frankreich und Pol'n! Frühling für Hitler und Vaterland, (Frühling!) usw Kommt schon, Deutsche, bewegt eure Sohl'n! [Reichsadler:] Der Führer, jetzt kommt er! Der Führer, jetzt kommt er! Der Führer, jetzt kommt er! [Deutsches Volk:] Heil Hitler! Heil Hitler! Heil Hitler! [Sturmtruppengeneral:] Frühling für Hitler und Vaterland! [Alle:] Heil Hitler! [Hitler:] Heil mir selbst! Heil Hitler, mir! Kamikazi-Nazi Nummer eins ist hier! Heil mir selbst, hoch die Hand! Ich bin euer ganz neuer Held im Land! Ich leb' nur für euch, ich mach' euch frei! (Mach' uns frei!) Habt ihr keine Lust auf Weltkrieg Nummer zwei? Heil mir selbst, hoch das Bier! (Jawohl!) Jeder Schatzi-Spatzi-Nazi steht Spalier! (Hurra! Jeder Schatzi-Spatzi-Nazi...) Heil mir selbst! (Jeder Schatzi-Spatzi-Nazi,) Kommt mit mir! Jeder Schatzi-Spatzi-Nazi, Kommt mit mir! [Hitlerjugend:] Der Führer macht heute Furoren! Er treibt die Russen von sich her, Das schätzen deutsche Leute(?) sehr! Der Führer macht heute Furore! Auf ihm nur hört das ganze Land Und wir sind außer Rand und Band. Er hält die Welt in seiner Hand. Der Führer macht heute Furore! [Hitler:] Früher wollt' ich Maler werden, Doch ich war kein Dürer. Plötzlich rief der Reichstag an Und sprach: "Wow, sei unser Führer!" Deutschland ohne Mut, Niemand, der was tut: Ich hob das Bein, Nahm Frankreich ein, Jetzt geht's uns wieder gut! [Mädel in Dirndl:] Dancing-Stars, Dancing-Stars, Dancing-Stars, Adolf tanzt bei Dancing-Stars! Kommt, alle Erzel(?), kommt alle Mann, Seht euch an, daß Deutschland siegen kann! Denn Mister H. [Hitler:] Wer ist das? [Mädel in Dirndl:] Mister H... [Hitler:] Haha, bin ich! [Mädel in Dirndl:] Ja, Adolf hat Tanzschuh' an! [Stalin:] Ich bin Stalin, Dein Stern wird fallen! Ah! [Winston:] Ich bin Winston, Du kriegst mich nie, niemals [Hitler:] Lasst euch erklären, Die Geschichte wird uns lehren: Ob'st schwarz oder rot bist, Alles ist nur Showbiz! Heil mir selbst! Seht mich an! Ich mach' euch Marlene Dietrich heut' als Mann! Ich kenn' keine Grenzen, die neue Welt ist so geil! Denn jetzt bin ich hier, Kamerad, wünsch' mir "Sieg Heil"! Immer nur "Heil"! Denn es ist... [Sturmtruppen:] Frühling für Hitler und Vaterland, Mabschritt und Abschritt ab heut'! Bomben fall'n aus der Sternennacht, Deutschland wird wieder Supermacht! Frühling für Hitler und Vaterland, Deutschland steht wieder Habacht! Frühling für Hitler und Vaterland! [Hitler:] Das heißt, (Wir zieh'n zusammen ...) Wir alle zusammen ... (Es heißt stets zusammen!) Ja ja, alle zusammen! [Hitler, Mädel in Dirndl und Sturmtruppen:] Für Deutschland wir zieh'n in die Schlaaaaaaaacht!

Violeta Rivas estaba genial!!!

La protagonista era Violeta Rivas

I remember seeing this production on Broadway. I'm so happy to see it was recorded for prosperity.

did they use the...um..."legal" insignia on the armbands / flags? I can't see clearly....

Great to have. Too bad the quality isn’t great. I’m a huge fan of 42nd St. Saw the original Bway exactly 20 times and this revival 5 I believe.

Why was this piece of shit posted???????????

Sorry but its a dreadful video

I saw the show on Broadway in the original run, but in 1985. I doubt many of the original cast was still in it.

Great that these gems keep popping up on KZbin. I've seen most of these shows back in the day. The live audience and curtain calls are always fun! I think the stagehand was having a little fun with the curtain...

LeeRoy is on fire! 1:02:03

This show, and the movie it is based on, is really very culturally American. It really has nothing, or very little, to say about Germans. It's about two New York Jews. So, to start with, we shouldn't expect the Germans to get it. Then, I can imagine the whole Springtime For Hitler idea would be very cringeworthy for them. I can easily understand how this wouldn't work there. On the other hand, from my experience living in Germany back in 2005-2007, the Germans absolutely love Momma Mia!

I saw the movie version of the musical in a multiplex theater in Karlsruhe, Germany. In my mind I thought it would be a hoot to see the reaction. But, unfortunately, the reality was much more cringy. For one thing, besides my wife and me, there were only 7 other people in the theater. There was a deathly silence through most of the movie except for my embarrassed giggling. I can remember exactly one laugh from someone else I was actually glad when it was over. The experience turned out to be a bit painful.

Qué fríos son los chinos, ni un asomo de emoción al ver algo tan hermoso. La orquesta es malísima

El número final de las escaleras y el cierre de "we´re in the money" es la cosa más espectacular que se ha hecho nunca en el Teatro musical

It’s seems like whoever does this show alway it’s entertaining. Great music and dance routines. I was lucky to be in New York it’s when the show was a tony winning revival. I was a fan of this show since.

I recall seeing 42nd street with Lisa Brown 4 times. . Just a classic! Jerry Orbach was phenomenal. Met them backstage too.

omg Go Into Your Dance is so fast lol

My first time in New York and this was my first Broadway show. It impacted me immediately and forever. Thank you for posting this. It was a magical night that will always be with me.

I’m very surprised this ever made it to Berlin! Do we have a translation of the German lyrics?

Does anyone know who's playing Dorothy Brock?

took me 48 seconds to realize this wasnt in english. thought i was having a stroke bc it sounded like english but none of the words were familiar

I wonder what the Chinese thought of it.

Sweet. I was Andy Lee in this production. :)

Verboten zu filmen

Dames! Devastatingly gorgeous.

I didn't realize Keep Young And Beautiful was originally in the original production. I wonder why they cut it, and I wonder why they brought it back.

It made my night to find this! My mom always took me to Broadway shows for my birthday, but this one really stands out in my memory. I still love the soundtrack. So fun to see that slice in time. 💚

👏🏻👏🏻

I see the beginning of the Chaperone. ❤❤

I had wondered how this show would go over in Germany, as they wouldn't even televise Hogan's Heroes in Germany until 1992. But I am glad they are secure enough to appreciate a show that makes a parody of such a dark era in their past. After all, it's just show biz!

What a pity that Hitler himself did not see this. LOL.

Lol so the actors couldn't learn to goose step in sync so they just attached them to wheels controlled by the few that could.

The swastika is banned in Germany, that is why the armbands have X's instead of the cross

Ahem... "most notably" should include the Diva Carole Cook! <3

Glad to see that they included the "Challenge Tap".

Mel Brooks wrote this to purposefully mock the Third Reich and fascism. Germans laughing at this now is a sign of how far a society can change in only one hundred years.

In Germany they actually mean it

if anyone speaks german and can translate/explain the joke at 8:42 i would be much curious what they changed it to in the german translation.

Mínimo hubieras pedido permiso para subir el video. Atte. OC ediciones & Carlos Pulido

This show changed my life . I started dancing tap since I saw this show for the first time. Go into your dance and Plenty of money and you were absolutely showstoppers. Kate levering was powerful, incredible. I saw the show over 15 times

In German translation some of the lines sound awful lot like the slogans from back then. Which, of course, makes the parody even more hilarious.

Weimar lebt!
