This fall-down funny musical roast of Broadwayis dazzling audiences across America on its 30th anniversary tour— and not a moment too soon. Winner of nine Drama Desk Awards, a Special Tony®, an Obie, a Lucille Lortel and a Drama League Award—Forbidden Broadway is back with an all-new, fresh view of the highs and lows of recent seasons, including delicious spoofs of hits like Porgy and Bess, Anything Goes, Follies, Spiderman, Book of Mormon, Nice Work If You Can Get It, Once and Death of a Salesman. Creator Gerard Alessandrini and his merry production team will wow you with outrageous costumes, hilarious rewrites of the songs you know and love, and dead-on impressions by a stellar cast. One of the funniest evenings on or off Broadway is roaring into Dallas—and you’ll want to be front and center!
With the mantra “Retro never sounded so now,”the dreamy voices of this pop quartet bring the repertoire of The American Radio Songbook of the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s to a whole new audience. While Under The Streetlamp specializes in doo-wop-derived hits, along with old-time rock ‘n’ roll, Motown-era soul classics and exquisite harmonies, their expansive playlist makes room for ‘80s artists like Billy Joel, Bob Seger and Huey Lewis as well. Behind the boys is a masterful seven-piece band featuring musicians who played with the originators like Sinatra and Valli. Each of the performers is a lead singer and star in his own right, and the joy in their shared musicmaking is contagious. Their fresh new interpretations prove that this great music—born under the summer streetlamps of Eastern urban centers—is truly timeless.

The Dee and Charles Wyly Theatre at the AT&T Performing Arts Center in Dallas is an iconic architectural structure that is one of the most versatile theatrical performing spaces in the world.
Designed by REX/OMA, Joshua Prince-Ramus (partner in charge) and Rem Koolhaas, the theatre’s Potter Rose Performance Hall can be shaped into any number of configurations – thrust, proscenium, round, flat floor. The audience seating can wrap around the stage, move around the set, or the tiers of seating can fly out altogether.
This time lapse video gives you an exclusive look behind the scenes view of the tranformative quality of the Wiley Theater
It compresses 6 hours of work into a minute and a half, as 11 crew members convert the space from a thrust stage to a flat floor.
