Forbidden Broadway Again

So I was asked to post about Forbidden Broadway. Until I get the still captures from the footage I took i will instead post the article from the Southland Times about it.

"The musicals Chicago, Cats and Mammia Mia are all targets of satire in the Invercargill Musical Theatre's latest show.


Forbidden Broadway, which begins tomorrow night, is a comedy spoof of some of the world's best loved musicals.

The show features spoof songs from musicals such as Phantom of the Opera to Annie.

Director Craig Waddell said Forbidden Broadway is the Australasian premiere of the show, which has been on Broadway since the 1980s.

"It's a bit of a piss-take at musicals really ... People will certainly recognise the music, but the lyrics will be different," he said.

The show stars eight of the theatre's more experienced singers, he said.

Held at Repertory House, it was designed to be a smaller, more intimate show than the previous production of Cats.

"We just wanted to try something different." The show will run from tomorrow night until September 13, although there is no performance on Sunday.

Tickets are $25 and available from the Invercargill City Council booking office."
