Posted: 11/14/05 at 6:28pmI thought I was going to be the only one to say L5Y but apparently not. I really disliked it the first few times I listened to it. I don't know why... it's now my favorite.

Posted: 11/14/05 at 6:53pmMerrily We Roll Along (actually that was probably because I didn't get it the first few times... once I figured out was going on, I loved it.)

Rent...it was so different than anything I had listened to (yes, I live a sheltered life), and Daphne's voice just bewildered me. Not in a good way. Now, I love it.
Les Miserables...I couldn't understand the big fuss until my voice teacher started raving about it and making me listen to it more.

Les Miserables: at first it didn't apeal to me, but now WOW
Little Women: it took me a while to warm up to it.

Posted: 11/14/05 at 9:25pmThe Last 5 Years. When I first listened to it, I hated it and didn't listen to it for a while because of that. But recently I decided to listen to it again, and I am starting to like it. I don't love it yet, but I like it. :)
#38re: Musicals that you hated the first time you listened to it, but gave it
Posted: 11/14/05 at 9:29pmMostly everything actually. But the ones that have changed so much are: LES MIS(Crazy, I know. It's my favorite now. I just didn't get it the first time) and HAIRSPRAY. I had to actually see that to like it.

Ok I was like in 5th grade so I probably wouldn't have felt this way if I saw it again for the "first time" ("again for the first time...") now but...

I was way too young when I first heard Sunday in the Park with George (though when I watched it on TV, my parents were a bit boggled too), but now I adore that score.
More recently, it was HAIR. I re-discovered it when the Actor's Fund concert happened and now I play the concert CD all the time.

Caroline, or Change.
Seriously. Also, the three songs from The Color Purple, if they count...

Piazza: It was the constant butt of all my jokes until I heard it again about 2 months after I bought the OBCR. Then, I found it moving and daring...especially the mother's numbers.
Wicked: Another show I wasn't crazy about after listening, but one I saw it I was blown away.

Posted: 11/15/05 at 4:48pmI didn't 'hate' it but I didn't necessarily get the whole concept of Avenue Q. At first, I though that it was a silly and pointless idea to have puppets on stage.
