About Forbidden Broadway Special Victims Unit

"The most gratifying and freshest Forbidden Broadway in years!"
—Ben Brantley, The New York Times, 12/17/04

Forbidden Broadway, a favorite of New York theatre lovers and critics alike, continues to take aim at the bountiful bevy of Broadway's best with its current incarnation Forbidden Broadway: Special Victims Unit!

This latest installment from writer/creator Gerard Alessandrini (which opened Off-Broadway on December 16th, 2004) slings its arrows at Wicked, Avenue Q, Movin' Out, La Cage aux Folles, Assassins, I Am My Own Wife, The Boy From Oz, Dracula and Bombay Dreams. Featured in the cast are Ron Bohmer, Jason Mills, Jennifer Simard, Megan Lewis and a special appearance on this recording by Christine Pedi.

The show has been a major hit on four continents—Europe (London), Asia (Singapore & Japan), Australia (Melbourne) and several open-ended engagements in Los Angeles as Forbidden Hollywood – poking fun at the movie industry.
