I hated HAIRSPRAY!!!


Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia

Not sure if it's even considered a musical, but Dirty Dancing: The Classic Story on Stage was the ****tiest thing I've ever seen.

All Shook Up and the Lion King were painful to sit through.

I don't like Phantom of the Opera, but for different reasons. Though I think it can be pretty boring if you don't have a good cast.


Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!

I actually didn't hate Brooklyn at all because I thought it was so horrible it was hilarious. Although Eden Espinosa's screaming moments did cross the line into non-hilariously painful at points.

I'm one of a few people I know who didn't love Avenue Q. I'm one of only two people I know who seriously hated it.

Every time I hear a song from Sunset Boulevard I'm truly amazed at how bad that show is, too.

@bwayphreak: Two words: Toilet. Plungers :) And while I'm here, Rat Pack Live at the Sands was the worst crap ever. Though Happy Days runs a close second.

Why all the hate for Lion King? I still think it's great.

And...without a doubt, Mamma Mia. I really genuinely don't understand this show. I went with my wife, who actually liked the movie better than the show. First of all, I'm not an ABBA fan and even if I was I don't think it works well on the stage. Second, perhaps this is just a casting issue when I saw it, but it appears that half of the show is lip syncing and auto-tuned.


Scratch and claw for every day you're worth! Make them drag you screaming from life, keep dreaming You'll live forever here on earth.

Little House on the Prairie was pretty bad, but I have to say that the lyrics and book writing from Side Show is cringeworthy and something that I just can't sit through. Awful.

Urinetown. I just didn't get it. The plot was indecipherable or boring, I didn't find it funny, and I didn't like the music. The only good part was the free postcards in the bathroom.

The Fantasticks. Some call it charming, I call it non-sensical, amateur dinner theater with the continuity I'd expect from a 3rd grade recital on the American presidents.
