So I was watching Broadway.com's Live at Five on Facebook, and since it was Election Day, I kindly asked "What are your favorite songs from the musical 1776?" Paul Wontorek responded saying "I don't like that musical." I was like, "OK."

But I am curious to hear from you. What are some musicals that most people like, but you don't personally? Mine, A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder.

Hamilton

"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Loved the music, didn't care for the play.

Don't know if "most people" like We Will Rock You - but if "most people' do, then We Will Rock You.
