47th Street Theater

The Roast of Utopia is a retrospective of the greatest hits from the shows' 25 years with additional parodies of Mary Poppins, Spring Awakening and Grey Gardens. This edition is created and written by Gerard Alessandrini and directed by Phillip George and Mr. Alessandrini. Featured in the cast are: Jared Bradshaw, Erin Crosby, Janet Dickinson and James Donegan with David Caldwell on piano.

FORBIDDEN BROADWAY has been an unstoppable force in New York theatre since 1982 when Gerard Alessandrini created the first parody that lampooned the Broadway shows and stars of the day. It has been a favorite among theatre lovers, as well as the Broadway stars themselves (Carol Channing, Kathleen Turner, Bernadette Peters, Tommy Tune, Stephen Sondheim, Cameron Mackintosh, and Hal Prince, to name a few) who often stop by to laugh at themselves alongside their public. FORBIDDEN BROADWAY has won numerous awards in its history in addition to the Tony Honors, which include Obie, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, Drama League, and Lucille Lortel Awards.
