Richard Kind to star in the West End production of THE PRODUCERS for a limited time

He will begin performances from 3 March and temporarily steps into the role while Andy Nyman departs to open the world premiere production of The Psychic (co-written with Jeremy Dyson) at York Theatre Royal. Nyman will return to the role from 11 May.

Richard Kind has played the role of Max Bialystock before, having starred in the 2004 Broadway production, succeeding Nathan Lane. He later reprises the role in the 2012 Hollywood Bowl production. Kind has had a vast career in TV, film, and in theatre over the years.

The Producers follows down-on-his-luck Broadway producer Max Bialystok, who schemes with timid accountant Leo Bloom to create the biggest flop in the theatre industry. However, it backfires spectacularly, and with thunderous applause.

The current cast of The Producers includes Trevor Ashley as Roger DeBris, Raj Ghatak as Carmen Ghia, Harry Morrison as Franz Liebkind, and Joanna Woodward as Ulla, Alex Lodge (Storm Trooper), Kelsie-Rae Marshall (Hold-Me-Touch-Me), Megan Armstrong, Olly Christopher, Gabrielle Cocca (Dance Captain), Ryan Pidgen (Standby Max), Nolan Edwards, Michael Franks, Matt Gillett (Resident Director), Esme Kennedy, Sinead Kenny, Josh Kiernan (Assistant Dance Captain), Kate Parr, Emma Robotham-Hunt, Pierce Rogan, Hollie Jane Stephens, and Jermaine Woods.

The Producers returned to London last year for the first time since 2004, where it played at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane. The original Broadway production was a huge success, obtaining twelve Tony Awards. This revival debuted at the Menier Chocolate Factory before its current West End run. The musical features a book by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan, and music and lyrics by Mel Brooks.

It's currently booking at the Garrick Theatre until 19 September 2026.
