After the Fair or Night of the Hunter.
I was forced to listen to the cast recording of After the Fair on a long car ride, I fell asleep in the middle of it and woke up like 45 minutes later to what I thought was the exact same song playing, but no. It all just sounds the same and is absolutely horrible.

The Dead doesn't count because that wasn't a musical, but a play with music.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

STARMITES. No question.
I ask in all honesty/What would life be?/Without a song and a dance, what are we?/So I say "Thank you for the music/For giving it to me."

Have you ever seen Yours, Anne? It is really quite beautiful. And the song that rhymed Jew and Zoo is I AM NOT A JEW.
Lil' Abner was really bad.

The Life had some redeeming qualities. Great performances by Pamela Isaacs and Lillias White. Some good songs: "He's No Good" and "My Friend".

Sample lyrics from "I'm Not A Jew" sung by Peter Van Daam while hiding from the Nazis.
I'm going home, I've had enough
It isn't fair, they play too rough
******
It makes a wound that leaves a scar
An ugly, yellow Jewish star
So they can come and hunt for you
And put you in the children's zoo
******
I'm not a Jew who prays all week
I don't have horns, I'm not a freak
I'm not a rotten, lousy, stupid, dirty Jew
I'm not a Jew
Not quite on par with "Fiddler on the Roof"
I'm going home, I've had enough
It isn't fair, they play too rough
******
It makes a wound that leaves a scar
An ugly, yellow Jewish star
So they can come and hunt for you
And put you in the children's zoo
******
I'm not a Jew who prays all week
I don't have horns, I'm not a freak
I'm not a rotten, lousy, stupid, dirty Jew
I'm not a Jew
Not quite on par with "Fiddler on the Roof"

"but it is really beautiful"
"And put you in the children's zoo"
Does Peter really think he's going to be put in a children's zoo?
"I'm not a rotten, lousy, stupid, dirty Jew"
Lyricist couldn't write poetic lyrics.
"I'm not a Jew"
Of course you are Peter. That's why you are in hiding.
The song should have been about how Peter wished he were somewhere else, not about denying something the audience can plainly see.

And it looks like technically "Jew" didn't rhyme with "zoo" in the scheme, but it was rhyming with "you".
But I admit that sounds like an awful song.
And how could we have forgotten STARMITES!!!! So ridiculous!
I can't believe THIS is my 1,000 post...

hmm, you see i like the life's songs, but i didn't see it.
the one major one i hated was Woman in White - even maria friedman couldn't keep me interested.
but i agree that i'm sure all of these are pure bliss compared to the thousands of off-broadway/workshop things - god knows i've been involved in some stinkers.
i suppose there are some statistics of the shortest runs, most complaints etc that can help us out - where's margo?
