Forbidden Broadway was first seen at Palsson's Supper Club in New York January 1982. Unemployed actor Gerard Alessandrini wanted a showcase for his talents and put together as a nightclub act, a selection of some of the musical parodies of Broadway shows he had written. Lauded by critics and audiences alike Forbidden Broadway has since become New York's longest running musical comedy revue, winning Drama Desk, Obie and Outer Critics Circle Awards, and recently receiving a Tony Honor. This updated version, created especially for the Menier Chocolate Factory, takes an informal and entertaining look at the history of American musical theatre, lampooning and spoofing current and contemporary musicals as well as targeting actors, directors, composers and writers.
