===================================
FORBIDDEN BROADWAY: THE NEXT GENERATION is everything you could hope
for -- and more! Although Forbidden Broadway in various forms and at various
times has been around off-Broadway since 1982, it never gets old because its
creator, Gerard Alessandrini, writes a new show for each
version which satirizes recent Broadway productions. The various editions have
won numerous awards and have been produced all over the world.
In this 2019 spoof of everything Broadway, the fresh, young energetic cast takes you inside the underside of Broadway via the Hadestown subway train escorted by Andre de Shields aka Hermes. You will laugh so hard you cry at major stops along the way at Frozen, Moulin Rouge, Tootsie, and "Woke-lahoma" along with The Prom, Harry Potter, The Ferryman and Yiddish Fiddler on the Roof.
Broadway legends portrayed in movies and on TV are not
spared either. Judy Garland sings a scathing review of Renee Zellweger's
performance in the new Garland biopic, and Gwen Verdon and Bob Fosse get in a
few songs and steps of their own. The sharp lyrics and zingers just do not stop.
While you may bemoan the end of one number (because it's just so much fun), you
can rejoice in the beginning of the next.
It's a shame this show is only
running for 10 weeks, so go now. Have fun! Enjoy!
