The 'Forbidden Broadway' revue, a concept now 40 years old, is the brainchild of playwright-composer Gerard Alessandrini, who has a knack for skewering Broadway’s smash hits that is unparalleled
From Merman to “Mormon,” North Coast Repertory Theatre’s “Forbidden Broadway’s Greatest Hits” parodies the Great White Way with glee. Only in this show, a fast-moving cabaret of quick costume changes and ill-fitting wigs, could the legendary Ethel, star of “Gypsy,” and “Book of Mormon”/”South Park” co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone grace the same stage.
Extensive knowledge of Broadway blockbusters is not required to enjoy North Coast Rep’s “Forbidden Broadway’s Greatest Hits,” but it helps. After all, to recognize parody you have to be familiar with what’s being parodied. That shouldn’t be too difficult with this show, which spoofs universally known musicals like “The Lion King,” “The Phantom of the Opera” and “Mamma Mia!”
The full-cast indictment of the pompous “Les Miserables” is a highlight, as is Barnett and Rapier’s dueling “Chita/Rita” take on the rivalry between Latina stars Chita Rivera and Rita Moreno.
