Final Weekend: Highview Arts Center Presents – FORBIDDEN BROADWAY’S GREATEST HITS

Forbidden Broadway

Highview Arts Center is thrilled to announce its latest production, FORBIDDEN BROADWAY’S GREATEST HITS, a sidesplitting musical parody that lovingly mocks the most beloved shows of the Great White Way. Make sure to see it in person before it heads back to Broadway this summer!

FORBIDDEN BROADWAY’S GREATEST HITS is a riotous send-up of Broadway’s biggest hits and brightest stars. With razor-sharp wit and uproarious musical numbers, this production affectionately satirizes iconic shows and legendary performers, offering audiences an evening of non-stop laughter.

Featuring uproarious renditions of classic songs and cleverly rewritten lyrics, FORBIDDEN BROADWAY’S GREATEST HITS takes aim at Broadway’s most famous productions and personalities, from timeless classics to modern blockbusters. Audiences can expect to see hilarious spoofs of beloved shows such as Les Misérables, The Phantom of the Opera, Wicked, Annie, Fiddler on the Roof,  and many more.

Directed by the talented Keith Mcgill, FORBIDDEN BROADWAY’S GREATEST HITS promises to deliver an evening of pure entertainment and laughter. With a stellar cast of seasoned performers, this production guarantees to delight both Broadway aficionados and newcomers alike.

Broadway shows have a reputation for taking themselves too seriously. Luckily, shows like the hilarious Forbidden Broadway’s Greatest Hits, help burst that bubble.
