Forbidden Broadway coming to the Grove Theatre
Edward Staudenmayer has been performing for New York audiences for the last 15 years, but for the next two weeks he'll be performing for his relatives.
Staudenmayer has been performing in Forbidden Broadway, an Off-Broadway satirical revue, since 1994 in New York City.
The musical will be performed at the Grove Theatre in Upland today through April 12.
"I'm proud to show what has been a huge part of my life for so long," Staudenmayer said. "It's great to have a chance to show off to my family what has been such an important part of my life."
Staudenmayer was born in Pomona and spent much of his childhood growing up in different parts of the Inland Empire.
"It will be a fun two weeks hopefully three if we sell more tickets," Staudenmayer said. "All my family's here. We probably sold most tickets to the show to my family because I have a big family."
Staudenmayer's family has deep roots in the Inland Empire. His father was a Pomona Police Sargent for 22 years, his uncle was a Pomona Fire Captain for 33 years and an Upland resident, his cousin works for the Upland Fire Department and his Aunt currently works as a city planner for Upland.
As a child he spent summers and weekends at his father's house on 16th street in Upland.
This is Staudenmayer's first performance at the Grove Theatre.
"I used to go there as a kid" he said. "I'm excited to go back there."
Forbidden Broadway is a four person show that spoofs former and current Broadway musicals.
"I'm
pleased as punch that they are going to have a top notch production
of it because the three other actors are literally just closing in
New York and coming in to do this version," Staudenmayer said. "The
show changes all the time. Nobody has ever seen this version. Nobody
in the world has seen this version."
