Again, I didn't hate any of the shows I listed. (Except for T.M.M.) I answered the question truthfully - I named my least favorite shows. If the question had been what shows have you hated (I'm going to regret this cuz I know that someone's going to ask me) I would most likely have had a slightly different list.
Getting back to Taz's question about how I would fix a flawed musical:
I have two musicals to discuss. The first one is one that I saw last year at La Jolla - the musical version of ZHIVAGO. My answer is both glib and truthful: I would fire the book writer, fire the composer and bring in a team that has mastered the art of turning a sprawling work into a cohesive, thrilling and moving musical: Terence McNallly, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty.
This next answer is how I personally would approach VICTOR/VICTORIA: I would can the songs that were inserted as "book" or "plot" songs, keeping the musical numbers confined to the cabarets where they can comment on the action of the play rather than feebly try to advance the plot, and I would focus on making the show more intimately focused on the characters and their foibles and less of a BIG SPECTACLE. At its heart, VV is an intimate show about love and it doesn't need the trappings of a traditional musical. IMHO.
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)
