This is an incredibly bad article about this play written like a junior high review. Not of the quality one would expect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.26.184.203 (talk) 13:41, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am going to try to do something about that right now. Remember that it is a fictional play though. (I think it has been cleaned up since your April 2009 comment. The least I can do is add some sources, for which it is currently tagged as lacking.)--FeralOink (talk) 01:20, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures[edit]

Anyone got a good photo of the musical version of Springtime for Hitler, or of Roger DeBris as Hitler (movie or stage show)? TR_Wolf

Early use of "Springtime..."[edit]

I heard somewhere, but cannot reference it, that in the early 1960s, whenever anyone asked Mel Brooks what his next project was, he would reply "Springtime for Hitler." I do not know if this was just his characteristic humor, or also because he did not wish to discuss planned work. If the latter, he was apparently successful, as people would be shocked enough not to inquire further. — Eoghanacht ^talk 17:21, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

According to an interview I either read or heard, Brooks wanted that as the original title for The Producers, but his studio convinced him to change it.68.190.213.230 16:10, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Break a leg"[edit]

It might have some significance that "break a leg" for "good luck" is itself originally a German saying (Hals- und Beinbruch). Probably it came through Yiddish into Broadway slang. As it exists in Polish as polamania nóg with that sense, it must exist in Yiddish too.

List of Bialystock and Bloom shows[edit]

I cobbled a list together of Bialystock & Bloom productions and added it to the bottom of the article. This list is based on my memory of the 2005 film and these sources: [1] [2] [3] [4], which all seem to relate to either the 2005 film or the 2001 Broadway show. If anyone knows of other plays referenced in the 1968 film, please add them. Except for "Funny Boy", "Springtime", and "Prisoners of Love" (which were produced sequentially), I listed the plays in alphabetical order.

I did not add the show Cash, as it was a marketing ploy by Bialystock, and never "produced" (even fictionally). — Eoghanacht ^talk 13:52, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This really doesn't belong here, This artical is about "Springtime for Hitler" the list would be better at The Producers page- LCpl 12:21, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're All wrong, Really. I'm going to change alot here too.

John Barrowman[edit]

Hello, just a quick one, does anyone think John Barrowman deserves a quick reference as the Lead Tenor? Not many people know it's him, and I think they'd appreciate the hint. If you think it's inappropriate (because the others aren't mentioned) then it doesn't matter. Thanks for your time.

The only encarnation of The Producers I've seen is the 2005 film, and he steals the show! I mean, he pretty much sings all of Part 1 of Springtime for Hitler. And the article doesn't mention the actors that play the fictional people involved in this fictional play, but that's just because the article sucks. Maybe the author wanted to avoid the complications sice there have been so many different performers in these roles. But yeah I always wondered who he was but was too lazy to read the credits, so THANK YOU!!! --Plavalagunanbanshee (talk) 15:16, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article about filming the musical scenes for the movie.[edit]

Many years ago (mid 1970s) I read a magazine article about filming the musical scenes for the 1967 movie. That is, discussing renting the theater used, making sets and props, difficulties moving stuff to the theater, etc. This may have been in the magazine published by the high school theater organization I was in. I want to say it was the "National Thespian Society" in the USA, but I can't be sure of the exact name. Could be a source for the article if someone could find it.
