Well, I guess it would still be Forbidden Broadway. Oh well.
So, I thought it would be fun if we wrote parodies on our own à la Forbidden Broadway. I'm sure you can all think of some REALLY great ones.
You can either post your own, make suggestions to other people, or just "critique" what people write.
Use this format if you post:
Your Song's Name
[Original Song's Name]
(Name of Show)
Here's one I put together quickly as an example:
Don’t Scream for Me, Dear Idina
[Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina]
(Evita)
IDINA
It will be hard to understand
Why I do what I do
I must yell and scream
To pump up my show
But you must believe me
I do it for you,
For my teeny-boppers,
It is how I learned
And that’s all
For singing is all I have left
You have to accept
How I sing and act
For my popularity is high
I’m a wanted diva
So take me as I am
Be the life of the party
I’m with my husband in every show
This makes every woman jealous
That I have him
It’s me:
A white Jew from NY
CHORUS
Don’t scream for me, dear Idina
The truth is I can hear you fine
All the way in the back
In the balcony
I paid so much money
Don’t scream for me, honey
IDINA
Don’t worry now
For I am here
To save the show with my voice
It needs no music accompaniment
But that’s OK now
Sometimes I confuse
Belting with screaming
But I’m a star
So watch me
As I defy the rest of the cast
CHORUS
Don’t scream for me, dear Idina...
IDINA
So, I’ll scream for you, my audience
You deserve to hear me kick ass
It’s what I’ll give you
For paying money
To see me perform
And not the real show
And when I leave
You’ll pay 1 thousand bucks then
To see me off…
If I’m injured
Don’t be mad
Just buy the recording
And you can hear me scream

You don't have to.
Take REAL B'way songs, rewrite the words to make fun of something. That's all FB is...

long drawn out ballads,
that are confusing and trite.
the teeny-bops rejoicing...

boring staging,
Beneath the curtain,
actors that scream and shout,
'Mily Skinner
trying hardest, still:
boring as can be...
boring as can be,
boring as can be
this show's making me,
crazy as can be...
boring as can be,
boring as can,
why must this show be,
boring as can be.
MARCEL:
Every time that I see,
the poster that is staring at me,
I just want to run and scream and hide, it's:
ALL:
boring as can be,
boring as can be,
boring as can be,
boring as can be,
boring as can be,
boring as can be,
boring as can be,
begging on my knees, PLEASE! [get me out of here, it's]
