Rent came on Sirius 77 today and I realized-- I hate every single character in that show. Drug addicts, strippers, lazy freeloaders, performance artists--let's face it, if you were at the table next to them in that restaurant scene, you'd get your meal to go!
So is there any other musical with such a large, unlikeable cast?

Posted: 3/12/07 at 7:36pmPhantom of the Opera. I really do not like any of the characters at all.

Everyone in Sweeney Todd except Toby, Anthony, and Johanna. Bah.
In Little Shop, I get pretty pissed at Audrey II. Yes, it's a plant, but it still pisses the hell out of me.

Every character in Beauty and the Beast.
Also if I was in a restaurant and sat next to the Beales I would leave.

Posted: 3/13/07 at 1:34amOh, and to tack another on to my growing list, Sir Bedevere from "Spamalot." Steve Rosen is fab, but my God, is that part really needed?

Posted: 3/13/07 at 2:57amCosette and Marius, for sure. Fantine, Eponine, and even Valjean to a certain extent die for them, and yet their love story is as superficial and essentially worthless as can be.

Posted: 3/13/07 at 3:12amAll 3 main characters in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Not likable, but fun to watch. And I know it's not a musical, but what about the entire cast of Glen Gary Glennross?
