‘Forbidden Broadway’ neatly nails excesses of theater season

It couldn’t have come at a better time — the end of a theater season that just kept on giving. Much like Rocky, one of its hapless targets, Gerard Alessandrini’s Forbidden Broadway Comes Out Swinging! throws plenty of punches — and most of them land. Granted, for this new edition of the long-running musical revue, spoofs of The Bridges of Madison County, Aladdin and NBC’s live broadcast of The Sound of Music practically write themselves. Even so, it’s hard to imagine anyone topping Alessandrini’s wicked satirical take on those shows and many others.
