Most Disappointing Show You've Ever Seen — Page 2

"All of you hate the musicals that run forever but really like the one's that no one has heard of!"

It doesn't matter how long a show has been running--it's the quality that counts. Maybe some people don't like Wicked because it's bad. That's their opinion.

"I think you just dont want to like the bg musicals because everyone else does. and you want to be all artsy fartsy"

Maybe some people don't want to see the big musicals. And, it's probably not that we want to be "all artsy fartsy".

"Come on people you just say that to be different and to get attention"

Well, can't someone be different. We all don't have to like the same thing. It's certainly not for attention, either.

Nine and Wonderful Town

Most disappointing: "Streetcar Named Desire - The Opera", oy, that was painful and comical to watch.
Second - at 200 a pop, "The Producers." I guess I'm not a fan of slapstick comedy or maybe Steven Weber was just not right for that role. I almost left during the intermission. "Titanic" is next. At least I stayed until the end. "Dracula" at 150 a pop was visually stunning and same as "Jane Eyre" but both of these plays were just missing the "umph" or that certain melody that needed to keep me interested. "Oliver!", a non-equity play at 60 a pop was more interesting than the plays above. I also wasn't impressed with "Hairspray" and the tour shows of "Sunset Blvd." and "Evita." "Evita" was just boring, and "Sunset", although the music and actress were great, it was nothing like the LA or Broadway production. It had the cheapest looking cardboard set I have ever seen. Did they borrow the set from a high school play? It just ruined the play. "Lion King" and "Cats" come next. Julie Taymor just focused too much on the wonderful costume and staging which overpowered the story. And, the seats at the theater (NYC) were just too uncomfortable.
