UKIP Leader Nigel Farage was upstaged this morning as dancing Nazis and a 16 tonne World War II TANK crashed UKIP's conference. Performers from a new touring production of the Mel Brooks' musical 'The Producers' made sure attention was on them as they high-kicked to the famous number 'Springtime For Hitler'. The dancers in Gestapo-style hot pants, Jackboots and insignia astonished delegates unveiling the party's General Election campaign manifesto in Margate, Kent..

The Producers Stageshow promotion at UKIP conference, Margate, Britain - 27 Feb 2015.

Adam Spiegel, producer of The Producers: "We open the UK tour of The Producers in Bromley next week and Margate seemed a perfect place to start the promotion. I'm disappointed but not entirely surprised to see that UKIP are trying to hitch a publicity ride on the back of the show."

The cast were in town to promote the new touring production of the acclaimed musical comedy.

Members of the anti-European Union party were left open mouthed as the song blared from a P.A system on the World War II's tank turret.

Dancers performed a choreographed goose-stepping routine in front of the Winter Gardens as the party attempted to greet the media ahead of the three-day conference.

The new stage show version of the hit musical stars Ross Noble, Jason Manford, Phill Jupitus and Louie Spence opens in Bromley on March 7 before touring the UK..
