Seems appropriate to have a corollary to the 'best' thread, no?
I'd start with:
Freddie & Lawrence, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Judd, Oklahoma
Judge Turpin, Sweeney Todd
The Dentist, Little Shop of Horrors

I actually think Fiyero is a terrible boyrfriend.
If he counts, the Phantom.

Have to second Jamie, I think he's an AWFUL boyfriend.
Agreed with Fiyero too. He cheated on Glinda, didn't he?
Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!

He just leads her on, not technically cheating.

Posted: 7/13/10 at 2:52pmI think I've always been and will always be a little bit in love with Bobby (though that's what the writers wanted), but at least as we see him in the show, not ideal.

Posted: 7/13/10 at 3:06pmWell if that's enough to get Fiyero on the worst list I think you have to boot Link Larkin for the same offense.

Link is just plain using Amber to get in good with her Mother. So yeah, that is pretty bad.
Link is also kind of a dumb ass.

Will & Johnny, American Idiot
Johnny was almost identical to my ex-boyfriend. eek.
#16Worst Broadway Boyfriends
Posted: 7/13/10 at 3:47pmJohnny from American Idiot, yes. I don't know about Will so much. Will, unlike the others on this post, never hurts, betrays or uses his girlfriend. He's just kind of a loser, and she walks out on him because she wants more out of life. In fact, by the end, that's what turns him around- seeing the relatively good and productive life Heather and her Rock and Roll Boyfriend have finally motivates him to get off the couch for the first time in a year.

Benny - RENT
(only in it for the $$$-- at first)
Freddy Benson - Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
(again, in it for the $$$)
And he may be adorable, but Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors is sort of the catalyst for his boss/girlfriend/the entire world getting eaten by alien plants, so I'd say that's pretty bad.

Posted: 7/13/10 at 4:14pmi don't know about Fiyero. i think its kind of obvious to everyone except Glinda he wasn't an activepart of the relationship for awhile. i mean she announced their engagement without him ever having asked her, and he finds out at the big gathering. which wouldnt be an ideal time to say hey i dont really want to marry you. and before he had time for a private conversation boom he is off trying to save elphaba.

Posted: 7/13/10 at 4:30pmNaw, I wouldnt say Lt Cable. He was just poor and confused and felt obligated by his "girl back home", until he decided to have a little "thrill" with liat and he fell in love with her. Its only natural :)

George from SITPWG? Are you kidding?
If you want instead when you're dead
Some more public and more permanent expression
Of affection
You want a painter, poet, sculptor preferably
Marble, granite, bronze
That's durable forever
All it has to be is good
And George, you're good
You're really good
George's stroke is tender
George's touch is pure
Your eyes, George
I love your eyes, George
I love your beard, George
I love your size, George
But most, George, of all
But most of all
I love your painting
