From what I have witnessed, the dislike is based on the young kids who make up the fanbase of this show. Same thing with Rent and Wicked. What these older people don't realize is that in 50 years from now, Broadway itself would be dead without those kids. Yes, they may be annoying and may not know much about Sondheim, but the future of Broadway lies in their hands. Its not the show itself, in my opinion.
