NightScribe Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 I don't know if anyone else has heard about this, but there's a cabaret act in New York that's been around since the '80s, the show is called Forbidden Broadway. The creator writes parody lyrics to show tunes, ripping on actors, composers, trends, and shows in general. And some are laugh out loud funny. Some of the performers (rotating cast) impersonate famous people quite well, one of the women sounds exactly like Bernadette Peters, with her strange inflections and all. An example of what I'm talking about; they've got a song to the tune of Luck Be a Lady Tonight, from Guys and Dolls, called No Leading Lady Tonight; a couple pissed off that the big name star they wanted to see isn't going on that night, they're stuck with the understudy. What's amazing is that they never use an orchestra, it's one guy on a piano, that's it. Not every song is great, but there's bound to be a few to crack you up.

dazzledfirestar Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Ahhh... Forbidden Broadway. *waxes nostalgic* My high school Musical Theatre teacher turned me onto that. I still love it. Like you said, not every song is great, but there is always something there to make me giggle at least! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
