The moment for me in All Shook Up was that horrible transition into "Heartbreak Hotel." - discussing how the guy's wife died, then he suddenly starts out with "WELL SINCE MY BABY LEFT ME"
A LOT of Legally Blonde, TBH. Here's the list:
- The last part of "What You Want." Bursting into an admissions committee? Yeah, I can only turn off my brain so much.
- "Whipped Into Shape." It's a fun number and an energetic song, but you can tell it's really just there so they can do a choreographed number with jump ropes.
- All of the lesbian jokes. Yikes.
- All of the "foreign names are so funny!" jokes.
- "Ireland" and the later Irish dance number.
- And, finally, that whole bathroom scene during the trial. Umm, what.

This probably isn't as bad as other mentioned, but I definitely had a dumb moment while seeing Spamalot. In "Knights of the Round Table," where the Lady of the Lake is scatting, Hannah Waddingham added the little 1-800 mattress jingle thing. Just the spelling. Well, when she sang 1-800-M-A-T-T-R-E-S, I really really thought she spelled it wrong. However, I know now that I was wrong, and she was right. LOL! But yeah, I got concerned for a moment that she spelled mattress wrong.

Wow guys, I am VERY surprised The Pirate Queen has not been mentioned yet. The worst part: Stephanie J Block pushes a kid out of her Vajayjay and then immediately gets up and starts sword fighting?! No way in HELL would that EVER, EVER happen.

Haven as Margot. I mean she is just terrible and very annoying with her pointless "Ghettoness" leave that to Pilar.

defyinggravity07,
Have you seen Asmeret as Pilar? Haven acts more ghetto than Asmeret does. I really miss the original Delta Nu girls where they each had an identity and didn't just blend into one another. Haven is just trying to stand out...which she does, but not in a way that is um, enjoyable.

Oh, God, yes! I remember watching that and feeling a horrible sense of awkwardness wash over me, and pity for the actors.
I vaguely remember a moment in Chorus Line when everyone is singing "hello 13, hello love" and then they burst out "dooo-doo-do-do" and kind of all danced together. I wasn't really sure what was going on there.
I actually really like the movement in "Mirror Blue Night".

Maybe not exactly while seeing a show, but basically the entirety of the new cast recording of Bare.

Yes I did see Asmeret, I liked her. Ghettoness isn't required but the WAY Haven does is really dumb an at random points.

Practically all of Hot Feet. I had heard that it wasn't very good before seeing it, but I am a huge EWF fan so I couldn't pass it up. I couldn't believe how poor that production was all the way around.

"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

Also, during one of Sho's DG's (might have been her last on the tour), she screamed (not the normal Idina scream, literally not even singing "LOOK TO THE WESTERN SKY").
Also, Caissie Levy once did something weird with "every one deserves the chance to fly"

I can't believe I forgot the great battle scene in PIRATE QUEEN, when the dancing/fighting suddenly went into slow motion.
Also the giant sheet of Saran Wrap that was lowered over the proscenium in CORAM BOY for a specific underwater scene. Wow.

Oh my goodness, I agree dalefully! I loved Bare when it was off-Broadway and thought the score was great. When I heard the recording I was like, "WTF? What happened to my show!?"

I agree with the SA choreography. I need to add the whipping scene with Melchior and Wendela in act one.
