Review:
The newest version of Forbidden Broadway is now out on CD. Forbidden Broadway Cleans Up Its Act is the best edition is the series. Don't let the title throw you- Forbidden Broadway is up to its old tricks. The show starts with Rudolph Giuliani (NYC's popular mayor) declaring that the show must contain "60% family content." The storyline continues throughout the show. The best numbers are the Titanic, Ragtime, and Lion King sequences. They also cleverly parody Alan Cumming's Cabaret. Volume 5 was worth the wait.
