Free Music Notes for Forbidden Broadway: Rude Awakening
Free Music Review: Not Up To Par
Hit: 2 Stars
I found this CD to be a real disappointment. With the exception of the crucifixion of Spring Awakening (deservedly) and the take on the recent revival of Company (brilliant!!), most of the rest of the parodies don't hold up too well without the visuals. This is the first in the series that I have found lacking, all of the previous FB cast recordings are hysterically funny. There are a couple of additions at the end of the CD, for instance the take on Yoko Ono is deliciously nasty, as is the parody of Christina Applegate in Sweet Charity, that come across as acerbically witty as usual in this series. But all in all, I think you need to see the current production live to appreciatte this recording.Free Music Review: Forbidden Broadway Discs

Utterly fabulous. Great singing, brilliant comedy and very slick. If you buy one you're gonna wanna own them all.Free Music Review: An Absolute Must!!
Hit: 5 Stars
Any true theatre lover is sure to appreciate this spoof of current and past Broadway offerings. From "Spring Awakenings" to a dead-on Patti Lupone number, this is a CD that must be added to your collection.Free Music Review: A Real Dud!
Hit: 2 Stars
I am a long-time "Forbidden Broadway" fan and have seen most of the productions. I loved them one and almost all. This one I don't love. Instead of being funny, I found it to be nasty, mean-spirited and lacking in the love for musical theater that the others so successfully spoofed. Its humor is hard, heavy handed and, at times, mindless. I have listened to this CD five times and am ready to use it as a frisbee or toss it in the trash. It is not worth keeping in my collection. "Forbiddy Broadway Strikes Back" is by far the best, the funniest and the most clever of the "Forbidden Broadway" collection. This chapter in no way approaches the amazing talent level of the other editions. Maybe its there was so little material to spoof. I don't know. I wanted it to be funny. It was not...at least to me. Free Music Review: Very Funny, even if you have not seen all the plays
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a very creative, well done, and very funny satire. I have seen most of the plays/musicals that are spoofed, but you don't need to have seen them in order to find this CD very funny. I admit I am a fan of all the Forbidden Broadway CDs in the series, and this one proves they get better and better. And if you buy the CD, don't think it replaces going to the play on Broadway if you are in NY. The play adds some visual humor, and it is on a constant update depending on what is playing on Broadway, so at the theater you will hear some new material.
