The Tony® Award-winning FORBIDDEN BROADWAY, Gerard Alessandrini’s hilarious musical spoof of Broadway’s biggest shows and brightest stars, will be in Tucson!
FORBIDDEN BROADWAY: THE NEXT GENERATION wowed critics when it opened in October, with the New York Times making it a “Critics Pick”, and calling it “The Best Edition of Forbidden Broadway in recent memory!”, and NY1 one proclaiming “Seeing Forbidden Broadway feels like all’s right with the world again!
“Feeling “completely inspired” by the latest crop of Broadway musicals, Alessandrini lampoons The Great White Way’s biggest shows and stars in this edition, which he directed. Gerry McIntyre (Spamilton, Once on this Island, Anything Goes) is the choreographer. The musical is produced by John Freedson, Harriet Yellin, Peter Brash and David Zippel and Gerard Alessandrini, in association with Tzili Charney.
