Every show I don't like as much as other people do is overrated.

That's pretty much how these threads work.

For 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?

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.

No one is alone.

why would you use a blue pencil to cut something out? wouldn't red be more effective?

Sweeney 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.

so I own not a notion. I escape and ape content. I don't own emotion, I rent.

---> 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.

Well, in between bashing shows to death, that's usually what goes on on this board :P

I've always thought blue was the colour used for such exorcisms.

I 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!

Jack: For your information, most people who meet me do not know that I am gay. Will: Jack, blind and deaf people know you're gay. Dead people know you're gay. Jack: Grace, when you first met me, did you know I was gay? Grace: My dog knew.

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.
