Gerard Alessandrini's Forbidden Broadway, one of NYC's best-loved and highly anticipated productions, is back this season after a five-year absence. Let's see what the critics had to say.
THE PERFECT FIT, a new family musical featuring book, music and lyrics by twelve-year-old musical sensation Joshua Turchin made its world premiere this month in a staged developmental production as part of the Rave Theater Festival.

The inaugural Rave Theater Festival wrapped up over the weekend, and festival awards were given to select shows and performers. Winners were chosen for outstanding production, outstanding musical, outstanding play, outstanding performances, outstanding direction, outstanding design, outstanding original score, outstanding book of a musical, outstanding choreography, outstanding ensemble, and outstanding marketing. Fancy Maids by Harold Hodge Jr. led the awardees with three. Four more shows were recognized with two awards each, including Back, Oceanborn, The Perfect Fit, and The Tycoons!.
