anything by Frank Wildhorn (Dracula, Scarlet Pimpernel, Jeckyl and Hyde, The Civil War...) Its's as if he wrote each one as a draft in one afternoon....terrible music/unforgivable lyrics.

volleyballer said, "[title of show] can suck a gigantic [name of genitals]"

I'm trying to decide if this is a slam or a compliment.

I realize no show is for everybody, but I couldn't imagine what would cause someone to hate this particular lil' show.

Blood Brothers, I wanted to kill every single person on that stage, F**k I hated it more than any other single thing I have seen.

Cats-longest night I've ever spent at the theatre, I half wonder if I saw it again now I'm older and (supposedly) wiser I'd 'appreciate' it more but I doubt it.

I also have an irrational hatred for 'Little Shop of Horrors'

The Lion King...10 minutes of magic followed by two hours of unrelenting tedium.

A couple of the worst I've seen had to do with the production. For example, I enjoyed Big and Seussical on Broadway, but the tours were horrendous. As far as original productions:

Closer to Heaven
Thou Shalt Not
Spring Awakening
The Civil War (tryout)

Blood Brothers. Never hated anything as much.

Followed closely by The Fantasticks.

[Phantom of London]

Posted: 3/21/11 at 10:26am

Something Funny Happened on the Way to the Forum
A little Night Music
Gypsy
Company
Sweeney Todd
Into The Woods
Sunday in the Park with George
Follies
Passion
Assassins
Pacific Overdures
Anyone Can Whistle

For no other reason to cause 'ire' with the Sondheim fans, as I know it is sacrilege to say anything bad about the great man. do I hear a Waltz was great.

Only kidding, please stop sending me all the hateful personal messages.

Anything by Wildhorn and most Disney productions, but to have heard (and only heard) KELLY is to have lived through a truly painful death.

I hated the Lion King because it was just the movie onstage with more songs, most of which were terrible. Also, I felt the overelaborate costumes made it more difficult for me to connect with the actors onstage.

I'm curious about all of the Blood Brothers hate, myself. Anyone want to give their reasons for disliking the show? Just curious.

The News with Jeff Conaway-probably the worst musical ever made it to broadway..

Lion King a scream fest that waw relentless..2 hours of hell
(and I loved the cartoon)

Grease with Rosie Odonell -like a high school production for 100.00 -worth 2 dollars.

La Cage on tour w/Larry Kert...HORRIBLE

I saw Blood Brothers with Shawn and David Cassidy and really liked it..Dont know why all the hate

NICK & NORA, the absolutely worst musical I have seen in 61 years of theatre-going. Boring beyond belief, the audience simply didn't care "who done it". The acting did not save the day, nor did the score. Arthur Laurents the author did not have a sufficient dialogue wih Arthur Laurents the director, and therein lay the major problem. What a waste!

It is amazing to me that as musical theater fans there is so much "hate" directed as any show.

There are certainly productions of certain shows that have made me cringe. But, there are so few shows that I felt wasted my time. There are certain shows I am glad I saw once, but have worn thin on repeat performances.

I don't care if I never see another performance of Camelot or Oklahoma!, but I can't say I hate them.

The worst musical I have seen is Ashman & Menken's "God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater." A close second is "Gilligan's Island: The Musical." I saw it with a very talented professional cast, which made it bearable. I can't imagine a community theater production.

Jersey Boys
Wicked
Flower Drum Song
almost anything by Andrew Lloyd Webber

But most of all, I absolutely loathe 101 Dalmatians. Biggest piece of crap to ever hit the stage.
