Forbidden Broadway favorites

Though I've never ever had the chance to see any of the FB shows, I do own most of their CDs up until "Rude Awakening".  I would love to see a new show with them, and their take on "War Paint", "Great Comet" and "Hello Dolly". 

In the meantime, what are some of you favorite 'acts' from FB? 

My #1 favorite has to be "Patti Class" (Patti LuPone in 'Master Class'. The LuPone imitation, the lyrics, and the set-up (Glenn Close, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Madonna as her students) are all incredible. To this day every time I listen to it I can't stop laughing.

A close runner-up is Barbra Streisand's "Farewell Tour" featuring "Mame". ("It never worked with that Murder-She-Wrote-person, do you know who I mean? So, I called Jerry Herman... and after some haggling..."   ) LOL!

SONDHEIM, sung to "Sunday" from SITPWG.

That wasn't so long and depressing

I wouldn't sing a song then diiiiiee"

 

YES! Anything with Les Miz...ridiculously funny.

Also love the intro to "Cleans Up It's Act" - the duet with Julie Andrews and Guliani! 

 

Does anyone know when a new season of FB will start? For a while it was playing forever...

I'm pretty sure they did Spamilton instead of FB last year, so maybe that time but a year later?

I've never seen any of the FB shows live either, but I bought a lot of the albums back in the day.  "Wicked~~~~!  Wicked~~~! INTERMISSION~~~~~~~~!" still makes me smile.  Also the Cats parody done to Chorus Line songs.

My thing about Forbidden Broadway is while I love good natured ribbing, I didn't like it when it got too bitter.  I never cared for lyrics like, "It sucks to be staring in a musical no one wants to see, it sucks to be me~~~" because let's face it, I like a lot of these shows!  (Yes, obviously everyone's mileage will vary with *which* shows they will put up with going through the ringer - see the above Cats parody).
