Forbidden Broadway has been mocking the real deal since 1982. Formerly at a safe distance at the 47th Street Theater, the hilarious musical review has since closed in New York, bringing new productions to stages across the country. Annie, West Side Story, Les Miserables, Rent, Fiddler on the Roof and Mamma Mia! are just a few of the shows hilariously skewered. And now, they are at the Walnut Street Theater. The show seems like a great fit for Philly, a city that is no stranger to mocking New York.

Providing these amazingly funny spins on your favorite Broadway classics are some of Philadelphia’s top talents, including Best Supporting Actress Barrymore Award-winner Jennie Eisenhower, and Walnut Street Theater’s comedic gem Ellie Mooney, Forbidden Broadway will have you rolling in the aisles. Broadway better watch itself, this comedic review’s got claws.

Tickets are $30 and are now available at 215-574-3550 or 215-982-2787. Show runs May 5 – June 28, 2009. Tickets are also available at the theatre’s official website.
