"Forbidden Broadway and its creator, Gerard Alessandrini - For more than 25 years this New York institution has been insuring our sense of humor about the Broadway theatre world."

Not to nitpick, but shouldn't this be ENsuring? Or did Alessandrini take out a policy on our collective sense of humor?

Anyway, I'm so glad Forbidden Broadway is finally getting the Tony honor it deserves.
