'Forbidden Broadway' To Take Hiatus Starting 3/25

The current New York edition of Gerard Alessandrini's Forbidden Broadway: Rude Awakening will take its Annual Spring Hiatus from Off-Broadway's 47th Street Theatre beginning Tuesday, March 25, 2008.  Forbidden Broadway will resume performances in New York on June 28, 2008.
 
Under the terms of its rental agreement, Forbidden Broadway must vacate the 47th Street Theatre each spring to allow The Puerto Rican Traveling Theatre to play its season.  During this time, Forbidden Broadway will play a limited run at The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in Miami (1300 Biscayne Boulevard) starring the New York cast.  Performances in Miami begin March 25, 2008.  During last year's hiatus, the show played an extended year-long run at Chicago's Royal George Theatre Center. 

Forbidden Broadway: Rude Awakening first previewed on September 4, 2007, and officially opened on October 2, 2007, to rave reviews. "The laughs come at breakneck speed! The jokes fly by so fast, you'll wish you could hit rewind! An immensely talented and uniquely hilarious cast!" - proclaimed Julie Read of The Associated Press. In October, 2006, Forbidden Broadway and its creator received the 2006 Tony Honor for Excellence in the Theatre.
