Forbidden Broadway: 20th Anniversary Edition

Forbidden Broadway: 20th Anniversary Edition is the sixth volume in the Forbidden Broadway Cast Albums. Although there isn't a show with the same title, the CD has twenty-five of Forbidden Broadway's best songs, including eight previously unreleased tracks. It was conceived, created and written (parody lyrics) by Gerard Alessandrini.

The CD bears the label "The Ultimate Unreleased Un-Original Cast Recording," pointing out that this does not exclusively feature the original cast. The liner notes give a retrospective of Forbidden Broadway's beginnings, as well as a gallery of photos of the original cast with the stars they mock so lovingly.

This CD returns the parodies of such shows as Ragtime, Annie, Into the Woods, Cats, Martin Guerre, and Les Misérables. Stars like Julie Andrews, Mandy Patinkin, and Patti Lupone also share the ridicule.

(In order of first listing in liner notes):
