It's times like this that I wish I lived in NYC, I always enjoy a bit of satire, especially when all in good fun

You, you are the worst thing to happen to musical theater since Andrew Lloyd Webber... and you I just don't like you.

Corine, since you are an expert on FB, please tell me. I am coming to NYC at around Sep. 16 for 15 days. When it says that it is running until Sep.15, what happens next ? Do they close and make revisions for a new show ? I can't believe i will be so unlucky !!! I sooo want to see Forbidden Broadway for the first time !!!

Take care

I think after Sept there will be a new version.
Gerard updates the show very often. I have seen this version 8 times and it has been a little bit different every time i have seen it.
It is so much fun. I miss it. Maybe I will go this week.
I know it so well I could be an understudy.

Avenue Q? No I hated it.
If you believe that I have a bridge for sale.
It is very cheap.

How can you not like Avenue Q? I also loved:
Caroline Or Change
The Normal Heart
Wonderful Town
I Am My Own Wife
Forbidden Broadway
Frozen
Wicked

Sorry to bother you again Corine, but does the venue remain closed for a few days between versions or do they rehearse simultaneously for new numbers and incorporate them while the show plays continuously ? I mean will I be able to see it between Sep. 15-30, or will the thater be dark ? Thank you

Take care
