Saw it the other day and had a lot of fun. Some bits were better than others but that was to be expected. Very very talented cast and a spot-on Audra impression that really made me laugh.

What do they do for the Roger Bart bit? Is it a song or an impression or both? Are they parodying a specific song from BTTF?

Interesting Sasha Hutchings and Aj Holmes are no longer in it. Anyone know why?

especially odd that Sasha and AJ left the production seeing as they were only announced like 3 weeks ago

Sasha and AJ were cast (unannounced) a few months ago in the aborted Broadway version and carried over to the Off-Broadway. Sasha went to do NINE at the Kennedy Center, then came back for FB... not sure what's gone on since.

Caught it last weekend. I have seen a few Forbidden Broadway shows and enjoyed them. This has 4 very gifted singers and comedians who are game throughout. Some sketches are pure gold (the Cabaret one especially, The Outsiders). A few need work. There are plenty of jabs as expected and it would have been brave of the creators to address that they were aiming for Broadway with this. Something self-effacing would have been a counterbalance to some of the razzing. Still worth seeing if you like broad silly comedy and parody.

I now know what the sketch entails, but I am curious to know what people thought of it.

The opening number has a repeated title "Forbidden Broadway... NOT on Broadway..." and a line about the show being "banished by snooty bigshots," something like that. One or two of the critics mentioned that as a self-reference to the Broadway gig that didn't happen.

I thought they'd mine the BTTF bit a little more since there's a lot they could've gotten into, but the choreography really got me because it was so accurate.

That’s true. The lyrics are there. But they have similar lyrics in many of their shows. This was the first time I remember a Broadway gig falling through. More could have been made of it IMO.
Another missed opportunity: they once had a great sketch with a love fest between Mandy and Patti saying each other’s names over and over again adoringly. They could have done something like that with the 3 Merrily leads. Tease them for their endless (but yes adorable) love fest in interviews and on stage. Jonathan crying. Crying. Crying. I felt a little underwhelmed with the show’s conclusions about the Merrily remount personally.
