Musical, Comedy
Winner of the 2006 Special Tony Award for Excellence in Theatre, Forbidden Broadway is a collection of musical parodies of Broadway shows hatched by Gerard Alessandrini. With its first appearance in New York’s Upper West Side in 1982, Forbidden Broadway, is now New York's longest running musical comedy revue. It is updated regularly, sparking repeat views of the performance by theatergoers looking for even more laughs. After national and international tours, Forbidden Broadway has become such a success that it has inspired other “Forbiddens”—spoofs of Hollywood, Vegas and more.
Apart from its hilarious parodies, Forbidden Broadway also provides an entertaining informal history of American musical theater. It has also stood as a showcase for then-unknown actors who have since gone on to star on Broadway, as well as in movies and television, serving as one of the previews of tomorrow’s stars. Straight from New York, Forbidden Broadway's performance at SOPAC stars the acclaimed off-Broadway cast! Viewers will enjoy a dose of theater history and lots of laughs, cementing Forbidden Broadway’s reputation as one of funniest evenings Off-Broadway!
