Worst Musical You've Seen

Posted: 2/28/05 at 9:46pm

What is the absolutely worst musical you've seen?

Napoleon
The Elgin Theatre
Toronto, Ontario
April 28, 1994

There is a reason no one had written a song about a barren womb.

There is a reason this show never left Toronto

Wasn't crazy about Peter Pan, or Flower Drum Song. My mom is yelling about how much she hated Meet Me In St. Louis.

This has been the topic of a very recent thread. Anyway, my choice remains the same. I've seen lots of musicals that I didn't like, but I walked-out on SUNSET BLVD. It was the worst thing (and the worst performance) I've ever seen.

I know I may get crucified for this, however...

"Crazy For You" made me crazy!

Also "Footloose" - I think a Broadway production of "Grease 2" would have been more entertaining. I left at intermission, but wanted to leave after the first ten minutes.

THE BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE GOES PUBLIC. I saw it closing night. The house was packed. Like watching a train wreck.

The lowlight - a big song about phone sex - scantily clad babes posing inside 4 ft square plexiglass boxes while fat, balding middle-aged men try to touch them - at one point the men did a dance with their pants around ther ankles.

Tommy Tune must have been doing some really good drugs when he came up with this.
