The unforgettable cast of characters at the heart of The Producers.

The Schemers

• Max Bialystock — the fast-talking, down-on-his-luck Broadway producer with one last big scheme up his sleeve.
• Leo Bloom — a timid, anxious accountant who dreams of producing and gets swept into Max’s plan.

The Production

• Ulla — a dazzling Swedish performer who becomes the show’s secretary, receptionist, and leading lady — and captures Leo’s heart.
• Franz Liebkind — the eccentric ex-Nazi playwright behind “Springtime for Hitler.”
• Roger De Bris — the flamboyant “worst director in town,” hired precisely because of it.
• Carmen Ghia — Roger’s ever-present right-hand man.
