Forbidden Broadway?

I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I don't live anywhere near Broadway (or even in America) and i was wondering how they do the Forbidden broadway shows exactly. I have been a big fan of their music for ages but, having never seen a show staged, I'm wondering what they actually do. What sort of dialogue is there? How do they deal with the costume changes? Is it an actual show or more of a revue with just song after song for two hours?
Thanks muchly...

It's definitely not a book show; it's like a revue.

It's pretty much a revue. No dialogue to speak of (except a few ad libs perhaps), and costumes and props are minimal, comedic and over-exaggerated.

It's very simple... 4 cast members (2 guys, 2 girls)... a bare stage with a shiny glitter curtain... the only things on the stage are 2 microphones and a grand piano... above the piano hangs a sign that says Forbidden Broadway...

The 4 cast members are constantly making quick costume changes... The show is run almost exactly like you'd hear on the CD... Song, blackout, song, blackout, etc... no dialogue or anything....

And always worth the price of admission!

It sucks. Really.

PS If you believe that, I have a great bridge for sale.
