Forbidden Broadway (1982). A very small‐scale revue that spoofed Broadway shows and Broadway stars, it was first presented at Palsson's, a supper club in 1982, and for over twenty years the revue moved from location to location, changing its title (one version was called 2001: A Spoof Odyssey), and updating its satire as the seasons went by. While most of the music was borrowed from shows being kidded, the lyrical spoofs were by Gerard Alessandrini. A parallel program called Forbidden Hollywood was attempted in the early 1990s, but it failed to catch on.
