The Menier Chocolate Factory revival of Mel Brooks’ Tony-winning musical The Producers has revealed the complete cast of its West End transfer.

The musical will begin August 30 at the Garrick Theatre, ahead of an official opening September 15. The production played its final performance at the Menier Chocolate Factory March 1.

Much of the Menier cast will reprise their performances in the West End, including Andy Nyman (Fiddler on the Roof) as Max Bialystock, Marc Antolin (I Wish You Well) as Leo Bloom, Trevor Ashley (Diamonds Are for Trevor) as Roger de Bris, Raj Ghatak (The Father and the Assassin, Life of Pi) as Carmen Ghia, Harry Morrison (Come from Away, The Third Man) as Franz Liebkind, and Joanna Woodward (The Time Traveller’s Wife, Merrily We Roll Along) as Ulla.

They will be joined by Alex Lodge, Kelsie-Rae Marshall, Megan Armstrong, Olly Christopher, Gabrielle Cocca, Nolan Edwards, Michael Franks, Matt Gillett, Esme Kennedy, Sinead Kenny, Josh Kiernan, Kate Parr, Emma Robotham-Hunt, Pierce Rogan, Hollie Jane Stephens, Jermaine Woods, and Ryan Pidgen.

The Producers, which won a record-breaking 12 2001 Tony Awards, features music and lyrics by Brooks and a book by Brooks and Thomas Meehan. Based on Brooks' 1967 film, the musical follows two theatrical producers who scheme to get rich by overselling interests in a Broadway flop. Complications ensue when the show unexpectedly turns out to be successful. Nathan Lane, Matthew Broderick, and Cady Huffman opened the original Broadway production.

David Babani and Nica Burns, Max Weitzenhoffer, Kevin Salter, Seaview, Creative Partners Productions, and 2ontheaisleBDWY are producing.
