Hmm...personally, I just didn't see the need for a musical version of "Producers." The original is about as funny as it gets. "Blazing Saddles" would be my next choice.AndyCat wrote:I like the musical "Producers" better.
Give the original poster's question however - "Young Frankenstein," but as cktuba says "not by much."

Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Igor, would you mind telling me whose brain I did put in?
Igor: And you won't be angry?
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: I will NOT be angry.
Igor: Abby someone.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Abby someone. Abby who?
Igor: Abby Normal.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Abby Normal?
Igor: I'm almost sure that was the name.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Are you saying that I put an abnormal brain into a seven and a half foot long, fifty-four inch wide GORILLA?
[shakes and grabs him]
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME?
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: HE'S GOT A ROTTEN BRAIN! IT'S ROTTEN, I TELL YA! ROTTEN!
The Monster: RAAAAAAAA!
Igor: Ixnay on the ottenray.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Eyegor.
Igor: Froadrick.
I am Frau Blücher.
[horses whinny]
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: That music...
Frau Blücher: Yes. It's in your blood - it's in the blood of ALL Frankensteins. It reaches the soul when words are useless. Your grandfather used to play it to the creature HE vas making.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Then it was you all the time.
Frau Blücher: Yes.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: You played that music in the middle of the night...
Frau Blücher: Yes.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: ...to get us to the laboratory.
Frau Blücher: Yes.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: That was YOUR cigar smoldering in the ashtray.
Frau Blücher: Yes.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: And it was you... who left my grandfather's book out for me to find.
Frau Blücher: Yes.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: So that I would...
Frau Blücher: Yes.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Then you and Victor were...
Frau Blücher: YES. YES. Say it. He vas my... BOYFRIEND.

"Why are you talking like that?"

Now see here! Before we go running about, killing people, we'd better make damned sure of our facts. A riot is an ugly thing... and once you get one started -- there's little chance of stopping it short of bloodshed.
So the first thing we'll do, is march calmly up to the Frankenstein castle and have a nice little chat with our good doctor. Now then! Who doesn't have a torch and a dog? All right -- follow me!

Blazing Saddles, Blazing Saddles, Blazing Saddles!!!!
Of your choices, Young Frankenstein, then History of the World, but I would put High Anxiety higher than History of the World.

1st - Blazing Saddles
2nd - The Producers (original)
2rd - Young Frankenstein
On a side note: I heard an interview with Gene Wilder, he was talking about Young Frankenstein. If you look you will see him listed first as the writer along with Mel. He said that he tried for a long time get Mel to film the "Putt'n on the Ritz" scene, Mel thought it would never work. Well, finally Mel gave in and went ahead and filmed it and of course it turned out to be one of the most memorable scenes from the movie.

But they told me it was Ee gor.
Well, they were wrong then, weren't they?
