Thanks Shubert,
I hate typos. It starts July 5th and you can bet i will be there.

I love Forbidden Broadway so much. If you have not seen it "IT SUCKS TO BE YOU."

I've seen it many times, Corine :) It's great. I can't wait to see Val Fagan belting out whatever spoof they do of Idina...that woman has the most incredible belt.

Yes. I love Val. I can't wait to see Donna do Kristin.
The whole cast of FB kill me.

Think it's sold out for Monday - July 5?
I've not seen it since it was on 72nd St.
Where is it now?

It is playing on 42nd at the Douglas Fairbanks theater.
The new version opens July 5th. If you have not seen this version see it it is hysterical.

I have seen it more times then I want to admit. It puts a smile on my face. I see it every few months and I never get tired of it.
Forbidden Broadway is the funniest show and my absolute favorite for the last 22 years. Updated On: 6/20/04 at 01:51 PM

Thanks Corine2. I guess I'll miss it this trip.
Remember Roxie Lucas? (I think that's her name.)
She was hysterical as Gwenn Verdon and Mary Martin.

As you know Corine it's a favorite of mine too. Wish I could see this new summer addition.

I only saw it once a couple of years ago. This may be a stupid question, but, how frequently does it change? With every season?

[Corine2]

Posted: 6/20/04 at 11:33am

They are constantly making little changes about every two months.
But they change the whole show twice a year. This version has had maybe four changes this year.
The new version should be great. Gerard is very clever. I really admire him and his talented cast.

Hey Corine,

Here we go again...LOL

Think last time you corrected me on the date, when I posted that it started on July 15th.

According to Playbill.com, it starts on July 5th. Did they push it back?

I can never get myself to see Forbidden Broadway--from the clips I've seen, it looks boring to me... Maybe it's that I can't follow.

How hard is it to get all the jokes? Is it made for people who have seen 10%, 50% or 95% of the shows?

Posted: 6/20/04 at 2:38pm

I actually know the Forbidden Broadway lyrics better than a lot of the original songs.

What are the shows they'll be spoofing? Wicked, Q, C or C, BFO?
Details please
