Whats your least favorite Broadway show and why?

Mine is Mamma Mia just because I dont like the music, I was never really into ABBA.

Mamma Mia. To quote Forbidden Broadway, "a spoonful of crap."

"Good Vibrations and Brooklyn, I hate you."

Yes, BROOKLYN and GV for me.

I would also disagree that all "catalogue musicals" are bad. A CLASS ACT was a catalogue musical, and it was brilliant.

Jekyll and Hyde was the worst that I've ever sat through.

Agree on Mamma mia, but Good Vibrations and All Shook up might qualify as well...

AIDA *gags*

GV, The Lion King, i guess. i don't think there were that many shows i disliked.

MOVIN OUT-LION KING-PHANTOM OF THE OPERA-BKLYN-THE PRODUCERS

[MissNY]

Brooklyn was the only show I've seen that I didn't like very much. I didn't hate it, but I would not see it again, even for free

[Princeton78]

Posted: 2/25/05 at 3:58pm

I forgot to add, "The Producers"...gross.

Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King...

[SallyBrown]

Posted: 2/25/05 at 4:12pm

Movin' Out. It's the only Broadway show I've ever seen performed live which I absolutely did not like.

GOOD VIBRATIONS and BROOKLYN, absolutely positively.

[MadeofGold]

Posted: 2/25/05 at 4:20pm

I hate Brooklyn with the fiery passion of a thousand suns.

I wasn't a big fan of Mamma Mia but my parents loved it. *shrugs*

I'm probably the only who feels this way, but I don't like Company or Follies. I've tried, but I just can't. Love Sondheim's other work, especially Assassins and Passion, the other 2, I don't like them.

"Good Vibrations and Brooklyn, I hate you."

HAHA that made me laugh really hard too

[InfiniteTheaterFrenzy]

SallyBrown- I'm glad you loved Beauty and the Beast!
I really didn't care for it because I just felt like I was at Disney World. It didn't feel like an artful, passionate Broadway experience to me. It was just obvious to me that it was a business venture made mostly for kids and families. I felt as though I could've experienced the same thing flipping on the animated movie or going to a theme park.
Again, that's just my opinion.

ah I see. I suppose that compared to the shows out now, BATB doesn't really seem the top, but hey, I was just happy to see anything! and i htought it was really good, but yeah Ive heard other ppl say what you've said. All good.
