The Producers Opens in Berlin!

Can Germans laugh at Hitler?

The Producers, the hit Mel Brooks musical, recently began a two-month engagement at the Admiralspalast in Berlin. This is the same theatre where Adolf himself liked to take an occasional break from invading Poland and France to enjoy light operettas from the Führer’s box.

Check out this interesting New York Times story which discusses the mixed reactions of Germans on opening night.
