Oh, Aurora, what a stacked feast you've set before us!!!!
A full half-hour of guffaws and true musical talent awe...am grateful. The ACCOMPANISTS alone are worthy maestros.
Peace be with you, hearty meal chef!....Lukerdog
Thanks, hope you enjoyed.
I was fortunate to be in the New York cast and will share that creator, Gerrard Alessandrini, is one of the kindest, most humble men in the business . He is featured here as Tevye and King Arthur. There would be no Forbidden Broadway without his vision or the brilliant musicianship of Fred Barton.
God I love being a theater theater nerd.
I was in the Boston company of “Forbidden Broadway”, replacing Karen Murphy in 1988 and opening the new version in 1989 which also featured “Forbidden Hollywood”. Fantastic show to do. Never boring and always changing.
Amazing. The fact they can take well known tunes change the wording without mistakes is remarkable.
Don’t Cry For Me Barbra Streisand has to be one of the funniest things they ever did. This was a real treat on a Saturday afternoon-thank you as always Spiderwoman!
Exactly what I was thinking-suitable for a chilly Saturday afternoon.
That revised lyric in the second one made me howl: "you'll do the movie / and I'll go mental / when you sing Eva / like you did Yentl."🤣🤣
Yeah, but that line, “you’ll ruin the movie ‘cause you’re too Jewish.” I mean, yikes that has not aged well. I don’t see how that could sound like anything other than anti-Semitic.
@@paulcanaday-elliott9834 if a Jew said/wrote it it gets a free pass (like black people freely using the n word)
Love seeing Toni DiBuono and Michael McGrath in this! They’ve come so far since those “Forbidden” days.
Let's just appreciate ✨ Dee Hoty ✨ for a moment
I think I died and went to heaven. I’m caught in your web aurora and your black beads glimmer on tides low ebb. Thank you so much for all this content.❤❤❤
There's so many Broadway musicals.
So dreams do come true. In the final clip, there's Toni DiBuono. What a talent.
Toni won the Drama Desk Award for Best Actress for this performance - against all the heavy-hitters at JEROME ROBBINS BROADWAY etc. "Forbidden Broadway" is how/when she met her husband Michael McGrath.
@@airborne8282 she will next be in “Funny Girl” on Broadway!
OMG. LOVE this! One of my favorite shows to see in NYC -- the "Annie" and "Evita" parodies never fail to make me laugh out loud. Thank you for posting.
Thank you for this!
Brilliant...
The phantom part HAHAHAHA
Wonderful
Jason Alexander can sing!
He DID win a Tony for the lead in Jerome Robbins’ Broadway.
Wow. What a find! So fun seeing the same performers who recorded the albums that I’ve listened to over and over (I recognized “Mary Martin” at once). How do you obtain these??
2:03 i don’t know why I thought he was Donkey from Shrek, took me awhile to realise he was parodying CATS
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I can’t seem to find the terrific Alix Korey in any of these clips - help?
Thanks, I think I was in error, and have adjusted the caption.
I wish they did have some of Alix! She is phenomenal.
Can we date? I love fellow Alix fans
I believe actually that may have been her as Christine in Phantom towards the end of the clips and also doing Carol Channing (not seen by herself but in the group) at the very end. I can spot her voice there too.
My brain isn’t working - what song is the Bernadette Peters segment a spoof of?
It's "Look What Happened to Mabel" from Mack and Mabel
@@ezahar8784 right... knew it sounded familiar.
So much machine gun vibrato.
I came here because I saw the Phantom of the Opera on the thumbnail!
Back when a pre-woke Broadway could still laugh at itself.
