While Matthew Broderick clearly can take a joke, it might be best if he skips the latest edition of the theater spoof “Forbidden Broadway.”
Due to numerous requests from all theater lovers, Upstart Productions proudly brings back the Off-Broadway smash hit “Forbidden Broadway,” a cabaret revue sharply spoofing show tunes, characters and plots of contemporary and current Broadway musicals.
Question: If the spoof lyrics in the musical revue “Forbidden Broadway” are translated into Filipino by someone like, say, Bien Lumbera or Pete Lacaba, will the show be more successful, just as successful, or less successful?
For a different kind of pleasure this summer, something “forbidden” comes from veteran actor-playwright-director Joel Trinidad as he directs “Forbidden Broadway” for Upstart Productions May 11-27 at RCBC Theater.
The latest in global fashion, beauty, and culture through a contemporary Filipino perspective.
