Tickets are still available for Tony Award-winning "Forbidden Broadway" two-night run at the URS Center for Performing Arts, 126 Newberry St. S.W.
Presented by the Aiken Performing Arts Group, or APAG, the parody show will be at 7:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday.
Tickets are $40 for adults and $20 for students.
"This fall-down-funny, satirical roast of over 30 Broadway hits features outrageous costumes, hilarious rewrites of the songs you know by heart and dead-on impressions by a stellar cast," a press release states. It is "a New York sensation for 30 years in which a talented quartet of comic chameleons throw out pointed parodies at a dizzying pace." Created by Gerard Alessandrini, the revue started out as a small-scale show in a New York theater and officially opened Jan. 15, 1982.
Musicals to look out for in the Aiken show include "Chicago," "Annie," "Jersey Boys," "Mary Poppins," "Mamma Mia!," "Les Misérables," "The Lion King," "Once," "Into the Woods" and more.
With only the assistance of costume-changes and a grand piano, Craig Laurie, Jeanne Montano, Kevin B. McGlynn and Gina Kreiezmar will sing, dance and act out numbers that, while parody the originals, still keeps the songs' essences, according to show producer John Freedson.
