ABOUT THE SHOW
Starring the acclaimed New York Cast, this “devastatingly funny!” musical revue is written & directed by Boston native Gerard Alessandrini and features up-to-the-minute spoofs of Broadway’s biggest shows.
THE EMERSON COLONIAL THEATRE, an ATG Entertainment venue, is pleased to announce that the Tony Award-winning "FORBIDDEN BROADWAY" Gerard Alessandrini’s hilarious musical spoof of Broadway’s biggest shows and brightest stars, will make a three-performance stop at THE EMERSON COLONIAL THEATRE on February 8 & 9, 2025.
The all-new edition "FORBIDDEN BROADWAY: MERRILY WE STOLE A SONG!" wowed critics when it opened off-Broadway this past September, with The Wall Street Journal calling it “DEVASTATINGLY FUNNY! Merry musical larceny with flagrant and funny abandon” and Theatermania proclaiming “it’s GLORIOUS, as refreshing as it is HYSTERICAL!”
Feeling “completely inspired” by the latest crop of Broadway musicals, Boston native Alessandrini lampoons the biggest shows and stars in this edition, which he also directs.
Up to the minute spoofs include comic looks at Eddie Redmayne in "Cabaret," Audra MacDonald in "Gypsy," "The Outsiders," "& Juliet," "Six" and "Back to the Future," plus parodies of Cynthia Erivo in the film version of "Wicked" and recent Sondheim hits "Merrily We Roll Along" and "Company."
Whether you are a seasoned theatre-goer or new to it all, the Tony Award-winning "FORBIDDEN BROADWAY" is your one-stop ticket to non-stop laughs: a hip and fresh view of theatre's tried and true that will leave you begging for more!

ABOUT THE EMERSON COLONIAL THEATRE
In its storied history, THE EMERSON COLONIAL THEATRE has debuted such seminal Broadway shows as Anything Goes, Porgy and Bess, Oklahoma!, Born Yesterday, Follies, A Little Night Music, Grand Hotel and La Cage aux Folles, among others. Reviving a great theatrical tradition, Boston’s newly restored EMERSON COLONIAL THEATRE officially re-opened its doors in July 2018 with the pre-Broadway World Premiere of Moulin Rouge! The Musical. THE EMERSON COLONIAL THEATRE, which opened in 1900 with a production of Ben-Hur, is the oldest continuously operated theater in Boston; as well as being amongst the most magnificent, having retained most of its original period details. A theatre for the community, EMERSON COLONIAL THEATRE will once again contribute to the rich cultural landscape of Boston, with a new and varied program of Broadway shows, live music, comedy and events.
