Forbidden Broadway Will Temporarily Yield 47th Street Theatre to Marga Gomez’s Los Big Names

The long-running revue Forbidden Broadway: Special Victims Unit will temporarily vacate the 47th Street Theatre to make way for the Puerto Rican Traveling Theatre’s production of Marga Gomez’s new solo show Los Big Names, which will run there April 1-May 14.

When Forbidden Broadway‘s producers rented the 47th Street Theater last year, they were aware that the show would have to take a 10-week hiatus. In the interim, the revue will play at San Diego’s Theatre in Old Town, March 31 through June 4.

With scenes set in both the Latin show business world of New York in the 1960s and Hollywood in the 1990s, Los Big Names follows the lives of Gomez’s unconventional family. The award-winning performance artist plays not only herself and members of her family in the show, but also such celebrities as Kathleen Turner and Queen Latifah.

Directed by David Schweizer (White Chocolate), Los Big Names features set and lighting design by Alexander V. Nichols and sound design by Mark O’Brien. The show was previously seen at San Francisco’s Magic Theater and Washington D.C’s Wooly Mammoth Theater.
