"Jekyll and Hyde" with Sebastian Bach. He couldn't hit a note if it was a punching bag! I hate myself for saying this, but I would have taken David Hasselhoff over Bach in a heart beat knowing how bad he was (yes he was that bad!)

If I were at the 2/26 performance of HAIR I'd ask for my money back as apparently the cast is on fire.

This thread is fascinating! A few of the shows mentioned I consider to be some of the most amazing pieces of theatre I have seen and I know that if I were to create a list it would be filled with shows that others loved.
This is one of the reasons I love theatre, every person has a completely unique experience, yet everyone can share it at the same time.

^but luckily I didn't pay for either of them anyway.
