It is ridiculous to set a detective story in New York City. New York City is itself a detective story...

Posted: 11/13/05 at 11:46amOMG - was there ever a slower show than "Les Mis" especially at the end of its run. I tried and tried to appreciate it, but I really didn't care what happened to Jean Valjeans.

Hairspray (although I would love to play Tracy, watching her is boring as can be)
And as I've said a million times over: CATS!

LES MIZ, JEKYLL AND HYDE, basically any big, heavy oppressive show with lots of dim lighting and dry-ice smoke and endless whining ballads.
Every deadly line of Rodgers and Hammerstein except CAROUSEL. (ESPECIALLY THE SOUND OF MUSIC!!!! UGGGGHHH!!!!)
BRIGADOON. I think that musical should be shown to poisoning victims in order to induce vomiting.
I ask in all honesty/What would life be?/Without a song and a dance, what are we?/So I say "Thank you for the music/For giving it to me."

Les Miz sucks a**!
I saw it when it originally opened and wanted to walk out!
I think it single handedly ushered in the age of the crappy, sub-par musical. An age that now seems finally, mercifully, to have come to an end thanks to the depth, brilliance, teamwork, and sheer entertainment value of the current John Doyle production of Sweeney Todd. (!)
Well, you asked... :)
