Menier Chocolate Factory presents smash hit musical revue Forbidden Broadway, for a strictly limited season from 25th June - 13th September. With Anna-Jane Casey, Sophie-Louise Dann, Alasdair Harvey AND Steven Kynman.

New York's longest running comedy revue, Forbidden Broadway lands at the Chocolate Factory this Summer, bursting with brand new material and a sensational, hugely talented cast. Our West End video partners, Reelkandi.tv went behind the scenes to meet the talented cast and creative team and bring you all the backstage scoop- right here on BWW TV!

Forbidden Broadway has been an unstoppable force in New York theatre since 1982 when Gerard Alessandrini created the first parody lampooning the Broadway shows and stars of the day. It is a favorite among theatre lovers as well as Broadway stars (Kathleen Turner, Raul Esparza, Christine Ebersole, Patti LuPone, The cast of Spring Awakening, Cheyenne Jackson, Bernadette Peters, Carol Channing, Stephen Sondheim, Cameron Mackintosh, and Hal Prince among others), who have been known to stop by and laugh at themselves!

Forbidden Broadway has won numerous awards in its history including the 2008 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Musical Revue, the 2006 Tony Honor for Excellence in the Theatre, six additional Drama Desk Awards, Outer Critics Circle, Drama League, Obie, and Lucille Lortel Awards. A theatrical institution, FORBIDDEN BROADWAY has received national and international notoriety, racking up over 9,000 performances in more than 200 US cities as well as engagements in London, Tokyo, Singapore and Sydney.

This updated version of the show, from Broadway's director Phillip George, showcases some of the best productions from both Broadway and the West End, including The Lion King, Phantom of the Opera, Hairspray, Avenue Q, Jersey Boys and La Cage aux Folles!
