History Theatre / ForbiddenBroadway

** TheLastofTheseisNotLikeTheOthers: '''Spamilton'' is mostly based off of '''Hamilton'' instead of just a song or two (as Gerard Allesandrini said, "This is not '''Forbidden Broadway'' with ''Hamilton'' in it, this is ''Hamilton'' with ''Forbidden Broadway'' in it!" It also has a story in it where it gives a fictional account of how Lin-Manuel Miranda revitalized Broadway with ''Hamilton.''

** "The Film When It Happens" takes "[[Theatre/{{Hamilton}} The Room Where It Happens]]" and turns it to a WTHCastingAgency worst-case scenario of actors being cast for the movie version of ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}''. Leslie Odom, Jr. desperately wants to reprise his Tony-award winning role as Aaron Burr, but laments he's "not gonna be" in the Film when it happens. It was jibed that casting would include Johnny Depp as Hamilton, Shia LeBoeuf as Jefferson, hinted Russell Crowe would be cast as Burr instead.

* MassiveMultiplayerEnsembleNumber: "One Day More" from ''Theatre/LesMiserables'' is the definitive straight example of the trope. ''Forbidden Broadway'' takes it on with just four actors in [[Main/LongRunners "Ten Years More"]] to hilarious results.

* {{Camp}}: "You Can't Stop the Camp" mocks ''Film/{{Hairspray}}'', ''Film/{{Xanadu|1980}}'', and similar shows.

''Forbidden Broadway'' is typically performed by a cast of two men and two women with piano accompaniment. The show went on hiatus in 2009, but returned to turning out new editions off-Broadway in the summer of 2012. It's also toured the U.S., has yielded two spinoffs, and even made a few trips overseas (some of which with a full symphony orchestra). A spinoff of sorts entitled ''Spamilton'', a parody of ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}'', opened in 2016.

* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: The flying monkeys from ''Theatre/{{Wicked}}'' make a special appearance in "Please Don't Monkey With Broadway".

* {{Camp}}: "You Can't Stop the Camp" mocks ''Film/{{Hairspray}}'', ''Film/{{Xanadu}}'', and similar shows.

* {{Transgender}}: Given as the reason why Creator/LaurenBacall is "one of the girls who sings like a boy."

--->"Oh, what a terrible genre, oh what a terrible blight. [[Music/TheBeachBoys Beach Boys]] and [[Music/TheBeatles Beatles]] on Broadway, tormentin' folks every night."

* IAmSong: Daveed Diggs in ''Spamilton'' gets one where he's "Daveed Diggs -- The Fresh Prince of Big Hair," which mashes up the theme to ''The Fresh Prince of Bel Air'' with "Ships and Guns" from ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}'', Daveed's big song as Lafayette in Act One.

** The parody of the 1996 Broadway revival of ''Theatre/TheKingAndI'' had Donna Murphy playing Anna as her previous character of Fosca from ''Theatre/{{Passion}}'' (which closed too quickly to parody on its own). Similarly, in that very same parody, an allusion is made to Lou Diamond Phillips playing the King of Siam in that production. Phillips had previously been known for playing Richie Valens in the movie ''Film/{{LaBamba}}'', so a bit of that song is played in the middle of "Shall We Dance" (parodied here as "[[IntercourseWithYou Shall We Boink]]?").

* TheAlcoholic: "I Wonder What the King is Drinking Tonight" mocked Creator/RichardBurton's drinking problems at the time of his RoleReprisal in the 1980 revival of ''Theatre/{{Camelot}}''.
