This Off-Broadway musical revue features a hilarious, satirical tribute to some of Broadway's biggest stars, songs and songwriters. The show skewers Annie, Wicked, Spamalot, Fiddler on the Roof, Chicago, Rent and many other popular favorites. Does Carol Channing crack you up? Do you think Liza Minnelli is a parody of herself? Think Les Miz is over the top? Then Forbidden Broadway will be right up your alley.
Shane Delavan, Lindsey Falduto, Shahara Rae and Rob Riney give voice to this hilarious, loving and endlessly entertaining tribute to some of the theatre's greatest stars and songwriters.
