'Springtime for Hitler' - The Producers

[@paulaa5479]

Love the reference to Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator in which Chaplin holds a earth balloon and dance.

[@mikhailthetenor3387]

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.

[@mikhailthetenor3387]

Oh you or they were saving them at the climax and end, oh shit, sorry my bad, scalp slap myself.

[@officialFredDurstfanclub]

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

[@rodsprague369]

One issue I can see for being in this part of The Producers is getting those damned uniforms off before going into public.

[@Twocat5side]

Lmao

[@ScytheriaReborn]

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.

[@larrydirtybird]

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.

[@maxwilson4748]

larrydirtybird It’s called irony.

[@LeSqueege]

Funny you should say amateur because it is an amateur theatre company. I should know. I'm part of it. This was one of my first shows

[@samanthaash3944]

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.

Some of the actual German musicals in the 30's had even more scantily clad women!

Well considering a lot of the German population these days were born after WW2, I'd doubt they'd care.

I read that was only in the Chicago Tryouts and was cutout from broadway

[@ifeelpretty5790]

@@mr.brooks8913 It was actually added back in at some point, the production I was in had it included in the script we used.

ifeelpretty57 when was it added back

[@ifeelpretty5790]

Mr. Brooks I’m not sure, my production was close to the time this production was performed so maybe it depends on the licensing group.

[@mr.brooks8913]

ifeelpretty57 wait what do you mean by 'my production'

[@DVR01]

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

[@PreacherTHC]

Make it a dark comedy and I'm in

[@CoRealm-lu8lg]

A musical about Witold Pilecki from the Polish Bolshevik War to his execution would be fire

[@afrenchguardsman6121]

It's only depicting WW1, but "Oh What a Lovely War" fits nearly everything you've said here, including the narrator appearing throughout the story.

[@DarsiPadilla]

Play this at 1.25 speed; and it matches the broadway's speed.

[@jayo1212]

@3:19 Sorry, but it has to be Mel Brooks's voice saying that.

[@DocSafety]

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

[@PreacherTHC]

I wonder if anyone in the audience got up and left LOL

At 3.31 it’s the Roly Polys - fab 👍👏👏

[@viviennestockley1396]

Music director has this too slow. Bit frustrating! Would be easier for dancers if faster too.

[@deedorset4731]

Amazing production

[@danieltursi804]

Where are the male tap dancers?

[@puckkrz01]

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

[@thenicolascage4355]

Very well done! 😆❤️

[@tomshea8382]

Really good tapping.

@@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.

[@ifeelpretty5790]

@@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.

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.

[@chair9260]

This is entertaining and funny

[@nesswei]

sad as bretzel :D

[@MrDavey2010]

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.
