@ all that jazz
yeah i know but now that i'm actually going through the board there seems to be a ridiculous amount of sondheim-hate
also now that i'm thinking about it i've got some other opinions:
lynne thigpen should have won a tony for tintypes
while I love Patti as a performer, I think her diva attitude is ridiculous
while I understand why people would like Rent, i find every character obnoxious (and One Song Glory makes me want to iron my face)
john larroquette comp

This is such a great thread!
Not sure if someone already said these cause I just skipped to the end of the thread but:
I think John C. Reilly's rendition of Mr. Cellophane is better than anyone else's.
I hate hate HATE Alan Cumming, especially in Cabaret. Ugh, he is so slimy and unattractive.
Phantom of the Opera is incredibly overexposed and ridiculous.
Andrew Lloyd Webber writes roughly five melodies per show and rehashes them again and again, which bothers me incessantly.

Hilarious Comments...

I didn't overhear this, but it's priceless.
Woman 1: Did you see Cats?
Woman 2: No, what's it about?
Woman 1: I'll tell you. There's this one cat, and she's real sick and tired, and the other cats put on a show for her to make her feel better. Then at the end, they put her on a tire and shoot her through the roof.

In my opinion, this makes more sense than the actual show.

Favorite cut song

I love "Small World/Momma's Talking Soft," from Gypsy.
I like a lot of cut songs from Gypsy, like, "Mother's Day."
"Send a dozen gardenias to your mother..."

Theater quotes you must continue when you hear in everyday life

I third It's hot up here/it's hot and it's monotonous

Whenever anybody says "Oh, everybody loves ______" I always say "Louis" in my head.
In a horror movie, if someone says "Something's coming," then I always say "don't know when, but it's soon, etc."

Favorite Finales?

Sweeney Todd
Assassins
I don't know if this counts, but I love the Finale to Act 1 of How to Succeed, for some reason.
Wicked (Because I knew you/No one mourns the wicked *tear*)
Sunday in the Park with George
Book of Mormon
Company (I know, I'm a Sondheim freak)
West Side Story
