These include such famous works like Les Misérables, Wicked, Spamalot, Mary Poppins, Chicago, A Chorus Line, Jersey Boys and many others. In addition to that, the creator G. Alessandrini often was parodying popular songs and movies, the actors and their characters. In particular, in the production from time to time slips Hugh Jackman (not when he was playing Wolverine, but when he depicted a husband of Liza Minnelli), Michael Crawford, Sarah Brightman, Freddy Krueger, and even cartoon character Mickey Mouse.
