People behind the production

Forbidden Broadway Goes To Rehab is part of Gerard Alessandrini’s iconic satirical revue that lampoons contemporary Broadway musicals with wit, precision, and punchlines. The Rehab edition opened on September 17, 2008 and closed March 1, 2009, bringing a sharp comedic spotlight to the seasons’ stars and shows. Though Rehab itself is no longer running as a current show, its influence lives on in cast albums, awards, and the ongoing energy of Forbidden Broadway’s touring legacy. For fans looking to catch the spirit of this classic revue, note that a new live edition, Forbidden Broadway: Merrily We Stole a Song, toured the U.S. in 2025. At Gold Coast Tickets, we’ve got you covered with reliable, straightforward access to both historic productions and current touring updates.
