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."

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.
