Forbidden Broadway: Alive and Still Kicking will feature takes on Pippin, Kinky Boots, Matilda and Motown along with highlights from last season’s acclaimed edition: Once, Evita, Newsies and Book of Mormon, among others.

Over the course of the spring, Alessandrini will continue to add new material to reflect the season’s openings; this new edition will officially open around the time of the Tony Awards.

In a statement creator Alessandrini said, “When we heard Les Miz was coming back for its third Broadway run, it was a wake-up call that it was time for us to resume. We just couldn’t rest in peace. So we’re picking up where we left off last April. And now feels like the perfect time to be back in New York: right in between seasons. There’s everything we didn’t get the chance to spoof last year, and a new avalanche of shows waiting to crash down on us. We’ll start with Pippin, Kinky Boots, Matilda and Motown, and as the season unfolds, we’ll add Rocky, Cabaret, Bridges of Madison County, Bullets Over Broadway, Aladdin, etc. Then we can officially open the new edition around Awards Season.”

Casting will be announced shortly.

The upcoming edition is created and written by Alessandrini and directed by Phillip George and Alessandrini with musical direction by David Caldwell and lighting by Mark T. Simpson. The show is produced by John Freedson, Harriet Yellin and Paul Bartz, in association with Paul G. Rice, Carol Ostrow, Paxton Quigley and Robert Driemeyer, Jamie DeRoy, Lawrence Poster and Tweiss Productions.
