Kim and I went to see Forbidden Broadway at the Menier Chocolate Factory. It had been recommended by a friend who had seen it in New York, and it turned out to be a great recommendation. It’s a tongue in cheek look at the big commercial shows on Broadway and London’s West End, focussing particularly on musical theatre. If you’re fan of the big musicals – Phantom, Les Mis, Hairspray, Lion King and the rest – or are just a little bit ‘camp’ you’ll love this. Cruelly funny, bang up to date and brilliantly performed it was an absolute delight. And it was made all the better by the intimate and participative atmosphere of the Chocolate Factory – a very small off West End venue. Wonderful.We went on a ‘meal deal’ ticket, which at £34 for a two course meal, plus show tickets, was excellent value. Forbidden Broadway is running for a limited season only, so don’t delay, book now!
