Funny Boy!: The Unofficial and Untrue Mel Brooks Story

By Nick Assunto

1963. New York City. Broadway. A young Mel Brooks yearning to make his mark on the world decides to mount a Hamlet musical on Broadway. Borrowing money from various sources of ill repute, and putting together a cast of young future stars like Gene Wilder and Madeline Kahn, as well as Academy Award Winner Anne Bancroft, Mel runs head first towards poorly thought out disaster. This completely untrue, full length play turns the legendary Mel Brooks into a myth and shows us how his career began (or didn't, because there's not a single thing true in here.)
