Off-Broadway's musical hit! Winner of 4 Drama Desk Awards for Best Musical Revue!
For many years Forbidden Broadway has been one of New York theater's greatest pleasures: satirizing musicals with a lot of good-natured ribbing. If you've never had the chance to see it - the Walnut's new production of Forbidden Broadway's Greatest Hits is guaranteed to make you laugh. It's as smart as it is funny, and the jokes are served up with zest by a talented cast.
You will laugh with some of your favorite shows: Annie ("I'm 30 Years Old, Tomorrow"), Hairspray ("You Can't Stop the Camp"), West Side Story ("Chita/Rita America"), A Chorus Line ("What I Did For Laughs"), Les Misérables ("On My Phone") and more. The more you know about Broadway, of course, the more you'll enjoy the show. It's the greatest, it's the funniest and it's the hottest celebration in town!
Forbidden Broadway's Greatest Hits runs through June 28, 2009 at the Walnut Street Theatre Independence Studio on 3, 825 Walnut Street, Philadelphia. Tickets are $30, and are available by calling the box office at 215-574-3550, online at www.walnutstreettheatre.org or www.ticketmaster.com, or by visiting the box office.
In addition, “Butterflies!” features:
- computer stations with interactive games about butterfly habitats, body parts, responses to global warming and general trivia
- a chamber of live pupae from which you may see butterflies emerging (if you're there at the right time!)
- a live animal kiosk comparing different kinds of metamorphosis in insects and frogs.
- Some will be flying. (These are often the easiest to spot.)
- Some will be eating at food stations. (These are good places to get close to the butterflies.)
- Some will be resting on plants. (Butterflies usually rest with their wings pointing up so you'll be looking at the undersides of the wings. This side of the wing is often less colorful and may even be camouflaged.)
- Some will be resting on the walls or the ceiling.
- Watch out! Some will be resting on the floor. Watch your step!
There will be a $2 fee to enter “Butterflies!” in addition to museum admission. Members enter free.
