I loved this show both times I saw the show because it was one of the most bizare things I will ever see on a broadway stage.
I remember Jessica Boevers' legs. The rest of the show passed in a blur of incomprehensibility...
Dancing skeletons, pirates, God on a bike in heaven. What else could you possibly ask for or want?

As a performer and a theatre aficionado, this show makes me feel violated. It was so terrible. I feel for Broadway.
Worst show EVER.
Unforgettable in all the wrong ways :) It would have worked better as a movie musical though.
The royal we enjoyed it especially Winston & the dancing skeleton

i got the cd sampler and actually liked it...
my family was all set to go see it, but im glad it closed before we got back to nyc, or else my family wouldve wasted 400 dollars!

I kinda liked IN MY LIFE for all of its weirdness...
Some of the music was fun, but the staging was all too bizare...most of the show was speant wondering "Why?"

I loved it because it was soooooo bad.
THOU SHALT NOT was worse.
Well it seems like none of you have forgotton about it, is that not a sign of a good show.
Nearly 12 months later and people are still talking about, it would seem to me everyone got there wish of a very orignal show.
I loved Winston!
Winston was better than the young male love interest. The dancing skeleton was innovative but to brief
I'll agree that it was a startlingly original show, and Winston was one of the few things that made the experience bearable.
Along with Jessica Boevers' legs, which I've already mentioned...
It was very...interesting. I thought the cast was talented though.
DollyPop,
Agreed, Thou Shall Not is definatley worse (judging by the CD sampler of IML and the OBCR of TSN)

I just LOVED In My Life....the Judy Collins LP from 40 years ago! I felt like such a Bohemian...but then I'm dating myself.
As far as the musical was concerned...I just couldn't get past the CD sampler, lol.
When I saw Pajama Game months later I had terrible flashbacks ... all those file cabinets, you know.
rosscoe(au), are you saying that just because people remember how bad it was that it's a good show? It's had an impact on people, but not in a necessarilly good way. I didn't see it, but the only thing people seem to remember is that it was "weird," "interesting," or "bad" and all it's synonyms.
Please...it wasn't even the worst show of last season. That honor belongs to HOT FEET.
It is, however, the singularly most bizarre evening in the theatre I've ever had. Jaw-droppingly bizarre. Fabulously bizarre.
