The Producers Star Marc Antolin on Dealing with Fascism
The Producers, a musical comedy currently playing on the West End, satirizes fascism.
According to Marc Antolin, who plays Leo Bloom, "It's about laughing at fascism, laughing at these people."
Sometimes to make fun of these things is the best way to deal with it.
As Antolin notes, fascists are the "butt of the joke" in the musical.
The show features numerous satirical elements, including a giant Nazi Bratwurst and a chorus line of stormtroopers.
