1. Favorite musical that did not win best musical at the Tonys?

2. Worst show you ever saw on Broadway?

3. Most under-rated Broadway actor/actress?

4. Most complex character written for theater?

5. Guilty pleasure musical?

6. What show do you most want to see a Broadway revival of?

7. What movie do you most want to see turned into a musical?

8. Team Ivy or team Karen?

9. Favorite Broadway director?

10. What show was the biggest disapointment?

How do you expect for one thread to carry on ten different conversations? And yes, EACH of these has been it's own thread, most of them very recently.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

2. Worst show you ever saw on Broadway? THE CIVIL WAR

THANK YOU!! -- For all these year I've been thinking I was the only person who absolutely, completely hated The Civil War. On my list on "worst shows" it holds the permanent Gold Medal -- and then you have to take a long pause before I get to my next one on the list, which was merely "not so great." And that's 60 years of Broadway!

You're welcome, MIke66. Although to me Shogun comes a close second to The Civil War.

Hmmm...I've tried to post this twice now... maybe third time's the charm?

Ha! I loved both THE CIVIL WAR and SHOGUN (though it was WAY better in DC, pre-Bway)

1. Favorite non-Tony winner: Easily Next to Normal 2nd place TIE: Side Show, Grand Hotel, American Idiot and Matilda

2. Worst show I ever saw on Bway: The revival of Jekyll & Hyde, the first and, so far, only shows I've fallen asleep at.

3. Most under-rated actor/actress: Mary Faber, Heidi Blickenstaff

4. Most complex character: TIE for musicals: Mrs. Lovett in Sweeney Todd (so much under the surface, there) and Diana in Next to Normal

5. Guilty pleasure: Starlight Express

6. Most desired revival: City of Angels

7. Movie to musical: Heart and Souls

8. Team Karen

9. Favorite Director: Michael Mayer/Michael Greif - love them both, always confuse one for the other, and for a feel good show, Jerry Mitchell

10. Biggest disappointment: Aspects of Love (I have since seen the show regionally, and would like to delve deeper into it...)
