Get ready to take a bite of the Big Apple, San Francisco! Feinstein's at the Nikko is thrilled to present Forbidden Broadway: Alive and Kicking!, the wickedly funny parody of Broadway's biggest shows and brightest stars, for a limited three-week engagement. Written and created by Gerald Alessandrini, Forbidden Broadway: Alive and Kicking! is filled with satirical vignettes of recent Broadway hits, including The Book of Mormon, Once, Newsies, and LES MISERABLES to name a few, as well as send-ups of Catherine Zeta Jones, Matthew Broderick, Patti LuPone, and Mandy Patinkin, among others. Forbidden Broadway: Alive and Kicking! will perform at Feinstein's at the Nikko July 10 - 27, 2014. The performance schedule is as follows: Thursdays and Fridays at 8 p.m.; Saturdays and Sundays at 7 p.m. Tickets range in price from $45 - $60 and are available now by calling 866.663.1063 or visiting www.ticketweb.com.

Located within Hotel Nikko (222 Mason Street, San Francisco), Feinstein's at the Nikko presents a wide range of entertainers from stage and screen all within an intimate 140-seat cabaret setting. There is a $20 food and beverage minimum per person inside the showroom which guests can use towards cocktails as well as a variety of small plates crafted exclusively for Feinstein's at the Nikko by Executive Chef Philippe Striffeler, through Restaurant Anzu. Cheese and dessert platters will also be available in the showroom.

Created in 1982 by Alessandrini, Forbidden Broadway has since spawned 18 editions, eight cast recordings and a record-breaking 30-year-run in New York. Updated regularly to stay fresh and up-to-date with the sensations, the bombs, and the gossip of Broadway, the musical spoof has been entertaining audiences worldwide since 1982 and has received national and international attention with performances in over 200 U.S. cities as well as engagements in Tokyo, Singapore, Sydney and London. Forbidden Broadway has received a number of public accolades, including nine Drama Desk Awards, the 2005 Drama Desk Award for Best Off-Broadway Musical, a Special Tony Award for Excellence in Theatre, an Obie Award and a Lucille Lortel Award. One of New York's longest running musical comedy revues, the show features outrageous costumes, rewrites of songs and dead-on impressions by a four-person cast and a pianist.

Guests of Feinstein's at the Nikko can enjoy a variety of food and beverage options before performances. Kanpai Lounge, located in Hotel Nikko's lobby, offers light cuisine, a full bar and specialty cocktails. Restaurant Anzu, Hotel Nikko's intimate restaurant located on the second floor, serves sustainable California cuisine enhanced with Asian flavors. Restaurant Anzu will also offer Feinstein's at the Nikko guests a special three-course prix-fixe dinner ($45 per person) prior to all performances. Reservations can be made by calling (415) 394-1100.
