No, but I’ll look into it. Thanks.

The Producers is a show about a show.

They purposely set out to make a Broadway flop so they could embezzle the funding, so they think of a plot that would totally offend the audience. They choose Hitler and Nazi Germany as the theme of the show (not the camps per se, but the overall subject matter is the backdrop). Their mistake is in casting a flaming gay to portray Hitler, whose show-stopper number "Springtime For Hitler" is staged as a Busby-Berkeley musical number.

The audience mistakes the seriously-intended show for a farce (due to the "fabulous" portrayal of Hitler), and it becomes a smash hit.
