Broadway In Detroit is pleased to announce that the Tony Award-winning Forbidden Broadway: Merrily We Stole A Song, Gerard Alessandrini’s hilarious musical spoof of Broadway’s biggest shows and brightest stars, will make a two-performance stop at Detroit’s Fisher Theatre on Saturday, May 3 at 2:00 p.m. & 7:30 p.m. Tickets go on sale, Friday February 21 and will be available online at BroadwayInDetroit.com starting at 10:00 a.m.

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!”

Theatermania raves this latest incarnation of Forbidden Broadway, “is PUNCHIER THAN EVER! Within the first 15 minutes of the show, the audience is uproarious in its laughter.” Interludes says “This musical revue comes fully loaded to giddily poke fun at the current Broadway landscape. [It’s] a WITTY AND HILARIOUS LOVE LETTER.” And The Observer calls the show “Mad Magazine with Jazz hands” and “Saturday Night Live with people who can actually sing and dance.”

FORBIDDEN BROADWAY has been a theatrical institution since 1982, when Gerard Alessandrini created the first edition that lampooned the Broadway shows and stars of the day who often stop by to laugh at themselves alongside the public. Forbidden Broadway has garnered international acclaim and awards that include 7 Drama Desks Awards, an Obie, a Drama League Award, an Outer Critics Circle Award, 2 Lucille Lortel Awards and a Special Tony Award along the way.

FORBIDDEN BROADWAY: MERRILY WE STOLE A SONG is coming to the Fisher Theatre Saturday, May 3 at 2:00 p.m. & 7:30 p.m. Tickets start at $39.00 (includes parking & facility fee) and will go on sale Friday, February 21. Tickets will be available online at BroadwayInDetroit.com starting at 10:00 a.m.
