Cast of "Forbidden Broadway's Greatest Hits"

Students are performing multiple parody numbers in this University of Jamestown Theatre production. "Forbidden Broadway's Greatest Hits" is a compilation of numbers from different editions of the famous off-Broadway musical revue that first opened in New York in 1982. Using familiar Broadway tunes, dozens of musical theatre's most popular shows and performers are lovingly parodied. Included among the many celebrities impersonated are Ethel Merman, Carol Channing, Barbra Streisand, and Idina Menzel. Dance styles and memorable effects from hit shows also get the satirical treatment.
