While the only knowledge of these shows I have is the research I have done, my vote goes to Good Vibrations. AWAY WITH THE JUKEBOX MUSICAL!
(Martha Graham from a letter to Agnes de Mille) "There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening That is translated through you into action, And because there is only one of you in all time, This expression is unique. If you block it, It will never exist through any other medium And be lost. The world will never have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, Nor how valuable it is, Nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours, clearly and directly, To keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware Directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, A blessed unrest that keeps us marching And makes us more alive than others."

All three were total financial failures to say nothing of artistic. Textbook examples of "How Not To Write a Musical". What were they thinking? How stupid were the investors to fall for these pitches?

The least objectionable? Good Vibes with all the lads running around without their shirts. Except that with all the money dropped they could have bought a tanning bed too.

sorry i did the opposite. I say the other two are a tie lol At least you had composers and lrycists that took a chance in writing original songs instead of sitting down picking out 20 songs they like and writing a plot!

My vote goes also to Dracula ( I was even named after a Beach Boys song)

When you get to be a certain age, you too can be bought by pretty faces and shirtless buff bodies in a complete artistic vacuum.

All of these are examples of pure dreck, but the question was which did you like the most or dislike the least or found the least difficult to sit through. None are any good at all. Still, give me pretty things to look at.

Dracula
Good Vibes
BKLYN

They all had kick ass casts. Dracula's material, while weak, was stronger than the other two. I had comps to Good Vibes, so thats the only reason why I enjoyed it. BKLYN was American Idol on stage. Not that there's anythign wrong with that. Well, there is. It's Broadway, not FOX.

I can't choose as I found them all to be dreadful but I suppose I would have to go with DRACULA if I had to.

I wouldn't give you a dime for any of them. Blechhhh...
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!" Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!

thank you... Dracula was the one of the worst thing ive ever seen. You know you're doomed with Des comes out to make an appologetic speech before the show starts. I think it was possibly the worst thing I had ever seen- but then I saw The Blonde in the Thunderbird.

I'm not saying its unheard of, but its always a tell tale sign of potential disaster. in that case, the potential was reached.

I really liked Brooklyn, I sadly didn't get a chance to see DRACULA, but I did hear the song "Life after Life" or something like that on Broadway on Broadway.

I Think Dracula has the most potential. However, I really like "once upon a time" from BKLYN. I think w/ a new person doing the lyrics, BKYLN could be 100% better because the music is actually pretty good and nice to listen too, but the lyrics sucks.
