Upstart Productions presents the “gut-bustingly funny” (The New York Post) Off-Broadway smash Forbidden Broadway on May 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, and 27, 2012, at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium, RCBC Plaza (Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday at 3 p.m.).
The Philippine production of this “forbidden pleasure” (New York Post) stars Liesl Batucan, Caisa Borromeo, OJ Mariano and Lorenz Martinez, along with guest performers such as Lea Salonga, Aiza Seguerra, Nyoy Volante, Jett Pangan, and many more, with Joel Trinidad as director.
Created by Gerard Alessandrini, Forbidden Broadway is a “consistently riotous”(The New York Times) musical revue that features beloved songs from the most popular Broadway musicals--“Les Miserables”, “The Phantom of the Opera”, “Rent”, “Mamma Mia!”, “Wicked”, and “Cats”, to name just a few--with hilariously clever new lyrics that poke fun at the shows themselves.
And although “there's no Broadway like Forbidden Broadway” (Entertainment Weekly), it’s not just for theater fans! With more than 9,000 performances in 200 U.S. cities and in London, Tokyo, Singapore, and Sydney, eleven cast albums, and countless awards, it’s clear that “even if you've never been within 1000 miles of Broadway you'll still love Forbidden Broadway!” (Boca Raton News)
