A first look at Richard Kind in the major West End revival of The Producers at the Garrick Theatre has been revealed. Kind will star in the role of Max Bialystock for seven weeks only, taking over the role from Andy Nyman (who is set to return on Monday 11 May). See photos below.
Richard returns to the role following his performances on Broadway in 2004 – succeeding Nathan Lane – and later reprising the role in the 2012 Hollywood Bowl production.
With a book by Mel Brooks and Thomas Meehan, and music and lyrics by Mel Brooks, the production is directed by Patrick Marber. The show transferred from the Menier Chocolate Factory following its acclaimed, sold-out run in late 2024.
