20 images Gerard Alessandrini continues to lampoon The Great White Way’s biggest shows and stars in this new edition, which he directed. Forbidden Broadway: The Next Generation features spoofs of Hadestown, Moulin Rouge! The Musical, the current Oklahoma! revival, The Ferryman, Tootsie, Beetlejuice, Frozen, the Yiddish Fiddler on the Roof, and Dear Evan Hansen; the new generation of Broadway stars including Billy Porter, Santino Fontana, Karen Olivo, and Alex Brightman; exciting turns by Bette Midler, André de Shields, Bernadette Peters, and Lin-Manuel Miranda; and several surprises.
Forbidden Broadway: The Next Generation, which recently concluded a ten-week limited engagement at New York's Triad Theatre, will be presented in 2020 by York Theatre Company at its off-Broadway home at Saint Peter's. The production, written and directed by Gerard Alessandrini and choreographed by Gerry McIntyre, will run from January 15 through February 9, 2020.
Long a staple of Off-Broadway musical entertainment, Gerard Alessandrini’s Forbidden Broadway has been keeping people in stitches since 1979. Playfully ruthless in its send-ups of musical theater, the show skewers with abandon. The current iteration, Forbidden Broadway: The Next Generation brilliantly keeps the laughter flowing. It is a delight from start to finish.
