The New York post praised the production for being ‘gut-bustingly funny’ and Timeout Magazine said Forbidden Broadway ‘is a hoot!’

 

One thought on “Off-Broadway comes to The Arts Centre Gold Coast

  • What a great show. I thought a send up of some of my favourite musicals would be hard to enjoy. But the enthusiasm and vigour of all of the cast was fantastic. The body language was infectious and invigorating. A professional production. Well done.
