Cast Set for Forbidden Sondheim: Merrily We Stole A Song,
Honoring Four Decades of Spoofing Sondheim


After a two-night workshop at Don't Tell Mama in August, Forbidden Sondheim will have a limited run (is there any other kind these days?), Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm from October 27 through November 27, at the The Green Room 42.  Tickets are $55 or $75 (including fees), varying by seat/table location.  Food and beverage service is available at all seats, but there is no required food or drink minimum.

While the show is largely a compendium of Forbidden creator Gerard Alessandrini's past Sondheim parodies (and a few others), there are some new spoofs as well -- surely including something freshly tweaked from Here We Are, I would imagine?  Groban reportedly gets roasted, to the tune of the Ballad: "the nicest guy you'll ever meet / is playing Sweeney incredibly sweet."  And Merrily We Roll Along, having inspired the revue's title, will presumably be repaid for the favor by getting knocked down down a few pegs, too.
