Every show I don't like as much as other people do is overrated.
That's pretty much how these threads work.

Posted: 5/10/06 at 10:35pmFor me it has to be Les Miserables. Someone really should've taken the blue pencil out and cut at least 25 minutes from it. That's for starters. Why people hold it up with such reverence I don't understand, perhaps these people just believe the hype?

Sunset Boulevard... I just never understood the hype
The film, on the other hand, is incredible

Definitely CATS. It's an acquired taste, and I ain't got the right tastebuds for that mess. Ugh.
And Sweeney Todd scares me. A musical that involves human meat pies? Ew.

Posted: 5/10/06 at 11:40pmwhy would you use a blue pencil to cut something out? wouldn't red be more effective?

Posted: 5/11/06 at 12:09amSweeney Todd. I find the music to be extremely boring and repetitive, and though the story is intriguing and fantastic, I just think it's a mess. A big, bloody mess.

---> Again, I don't really get the point of these threads. It's all subjective. So, I don't get why people try to dispute other people's posts? It's sorta pointless.

I've always thought blue was the colour used for such exorcisms.
Add to my list - MISS SAIGON and WE WILL ROCK YOU.

Posted: 5/11/06 at 9:32amI will go with Mama Mia...I waited YEARS to see it, just saw it with friends that are in from out of town...it was cute, but I didn't understand the hype. There must be a lot of ABBA fans out there! HA!

I dont think Wicked is overrated at all, it is a wonderful show and If I had the money I would go see it every night, well not every night but maybe every week.
