Posted: 4/18/08 at 9:05am"Total Eclipse" in Tanz -- even in its original German form, it kind of ruined my day to see what I consider one of Steinman's lesser songs recycled as the love duet

Re: Sorry, not for me. It was beautifully staged though and Titus delivered it quite wonderfully.

I can't stand listening to overtures in general...
Really, any instrumental, like "Dance at the Gym" from West Side. They're amazing to watch when there's dancing, but JUST the music? Not for me.

Posted: 4/18/08 at 8:37pmI am not very fond of Shipoopi, Pick-A-Little, or Rock Island from Music Man. I enjoy them on stage, but not to just listen to.

Posted: 4/18/08 at 8:44pmThe entire soundtrack to Xanadu. I like the show, and I can tolerate the music when it's in the show, but I can't listen to it by itself.

Posted: 4/18/08 at 9:41pmI know it's the hit song from the show, but 'Day by Day' from GODSPELL. The melody's fine, but the lyrics. . . I just want to scream, "STOP SINGING THE SAME FREAKING THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN!"

Ooh, I can't stand Mr. Cellophane either.
I always skip the scene when I watch the movie and skip the track on my recording.

Posted: 4/19/08 at 4:07pmI actually love "Judge's Johanna". I love how absolutely terrifyingly weird it is, and I love that it is a good song for a lower baritone (which I am).

Posted: 4/19/08 at 5:16pmI do love OKLAHOMA!, but simply cannot stand "It's A Scandal, It's A Outrage". Bugs the hell out of me.

Posted: 4/19/08 at 5:26pmYou don't like "Mister Snow"? I looove it! Of course, maybe it's because I'm a soprano and we don't get many fun character songs.

I hate Not Dead Yet from Spamalot. Terrible lyrics.
The Royal Nonesuch from Big River annoys me.
I just don't like the melody or lyrics of White Horse nor do I understand the point of the song.
