The eighth volume of Forbidden Broadway, Special Victims Unit, riffs off of the recently passed Jerry Orbach's dual career as Broadway leading man and television detective, as the long-running spoof show sets itself to "investigating homicides of a theatrical nature." Fans of the series know that means ruthless skewering of everything connected to the Great White Way through skillful mimicry and hilarious words set to familiar tunes. The victims include shows such as Bombay Dreams, Avenue Q, and Thoroughly Modern Millie ("the worst Best Musical ever!"); personalities such as Brooke Shields, Stephen Schwartz, the two stars of Wicked, and Harvey Fierstein; and trends such as pop-music-based shows, stars who miss performances, and revivals. One particularly amusing trick is turning Assassins' lyrical tribute to Jodie Foster and Charles Manson into a theater geek's tribute to Stephen Sondheim, "Unworthy of Your Words" ("I am unworthy of your words / I cannot sing your minor thirds..."). Broadway has been supplying creator-writer Gerard Allessandrini's franchise with fresh material for over 20 years, and it remains vicious and funny. --David Horiuchi
