Gerard Alessandrini (creator, writer and director) and Philip George (director) will bring their multi-award winning satirical musical, Forbidden Broadway, for a limited run only at the Menier Chocolate Factory from 25 June to 13 September, with press night on 02 July. The show, which wrapped up its record-breaking 27-year run in New York this March, makes its first visit to London in 10 years.
The cabaret musical revue, Forbidden Broadway, presents an informal and entertaining look at the history of the American musical theatre, lampooning and spoofing some of the current and contemporary musicals as well as targeting actors, directors, composers and writers. Last seen on our shores 10 years ago, this updated version created especially for the Menier Chocolate Factory, will feature numbers from some of the best theatre productions seen both on Broadway and in the West End in recent years, including old favourites: The Lion King, The Phantom of the Opera and Les Misèrables, they also have their sights set on Hairspray, Avenue Q, Wicked, Jersey Boys, La Cage aux Folles, Sunday in the Park with George and many more...
