"Everybody who sees The Producers – and that should be as close to everybody as the St. James Theater allows – is going to be hard-pressed to choose one favorite bit from the sublimely ridiculous spectacle... The Producers, is as full of gags, gadgets and gimmicks as an old vaudevillian's trunk. But the show, which has a book by Mr. Brooks and Thomas Meehan with songs by Mr. Brooks (you heard me), is much more than the sum of its gorgeously silly parts. It is, to put it simply, the real thing."
– New York Times

"Extraordinary tickling power... it is irresistible."
– LA Times

"It's reign as a solid, entertaining show is just beginning, and is unlikely to end any time soon."
– Talkin' Broadway

"Entirely irresistible and irrepressible confection."
– The Stage (UK)
