Have you seen a show recently...

...that seems worn out? From actors appearing to not care what they are doing because they have done the show so many times?
The stage and scenery looking very old and unkept, costumes that don't fit the actors?

That was once great but over time the magic is no longer there?

I created this thread to see if there was a show you once loved and respected but upon on a later viewing you realize the show is no longer the same, on Broadway or on Tour.

I felt this way about "Saturday Night Fever" a few years ago.

Not recently, Cats was the last one I can remember. It was like everyone just wanted it to end.

Oh!It's not on the part of the actors and it's almost completely off topic but yesterday, when I went to see RENT, nobody stood during bows! And that really pissed me off. So I'm standing virtually by myself and Matt Caplan smiles and waves to me and keeps acknowledging me. It really sort of broke my heart. I was like that's really sad that no one is showing any sort of respect for this fantastic show!

Maybe the upcoming film will re-energize the show?

I personally think that the sooner it closes, the sooner we'll see a revival! The show really needs a shot of adrenaline now.
