I don't mean from "Forbidden Broadway," but from people on the street. The only one I know of is when Ethel Merman performed in the revival of Annie Get Your Gun, and many people refer to it now as "Granny Get Your Gun!"

The Color Purple is commonly referred to as Oprahoma...

The scaled down revival in the late 80's/early 90's of Sweeney Todd was known as Teeney Todd... and this one has been referred to as Teeney Tiny Todd...

Because of the headdress that Toranaga wore at the end of "Shogun" it was referred to as "ShowGirl".

Not sure how long this'll last. A couple months ago I posted about 50 broadway show porno titles. With an hour, about 100 people or so had added theirs. it was great fun...until Jose shut us down. Good luck though.

The current revival of Fiddler, I've always called "Fiddler on the Deck" or "Fiddler in the Forest"

Last year I saw a community theater production of MISS SAIGON, which angered some Asian Americans who think the show is racist and stereotypical. Anyway, they did their own version of the Fall of Saigon story and called it MISSED SIGH GONE, or something like that.

Actually, I've heard the new Sweeney referred to as "Marat/Todd."

Made me laugh a lot.

My favorite will always be "Yes, Yes, Oh God Yes Nanette".

Lease: The Musical. It's the Team America: World Police spoof of Rent. It's hilarious.

Everyone has AIDS! AIDS AIDS AIDS!

Also, a friend of mine called "The Light In The Piazza" the "Light In The Pizza" once, and didn't correct herself. I think she meant it.

"Rape and Incest: The Musical" instead of "Bat Boy: The Musical" Not really word play but thats what we began calling it.

I actually saw the original production of MARAT/SADE. (I'm old!)

Marat/Todd is clever, up to a point. Like so many other things, I fake that I actually have had a cultural experience by getting the reference, but will readily admit that I have merely seen the movie. (At least this isn't a case of some important book that I embarassingly haven't read. *cough* Orlando *cough*)

Then there were the Beauxhommies....I mean the Beauxhommes, from Once on This Island. Yes, that was high school.

I like all the Jewish humor broadway spoofs at the end of the producers like
"A streetcar named Murry"
and
"Katz"
