For me...Shrek.

Blood Brothers, The Fantasticks, Bye Bye Birdie, Ragtime.
I know these are unpopular, but I truly never hated anything as much as Ragtime. I was so bored, though the talent was stellar.

Posted: 2/26/10 at 4:42pmWalnut Street Theatre's (Philadelpia) production of Hairspray. They said in the pamphlet in the mail "Hairsprays coming to Philly! The smash hit musical" So I tohught it was the touring company, not a regional production. Alright show but extremely dissapointing for me.

DRSisLove...was it the original production or the recent reviavl of Ragtime? I saw a tour of the original production Florida, and don;t know if it was that we were in the last row of a huge cavern of a theater or what...but I was so not engaged...and was SO bored.
I gave the revival a second chance and it was a totally different show to me.
Meanwhile, back to Shrek...during the flatulance number I felt like it would be reasonable to ask to be compensated for sitting though such crap. I mean this from Tesori...who gave os Caroline, or Change right?

Memphis, hands down.
There was also a wretched tour of Les Miz in the early 90s that was so awful it's become a running joke in my family.

Posted: 2/26/10 at 5:20pmOh...I have got to add the out of town try outs of Footloose at the Kennedy Center and Hot Feet at the National Theater in DC. I thought my friends were going to through me into the Potomic, are shove me out on to Pennsylvania Avenue after each one of those shows.

Little Women - the music (not the lyrics) was okay but overall the show was a gigantic bore
Hot Feet - I love the music of Earth, Wind & Fire but the show was a disaster on pretty much all fronts.

Live4Now....why don't you start your own thread with "wicked seating question" as your title, INSTEAD of putting it in unrelated threads.
THAT way, folks that KNOW can answer your question!
