There a several scores from shows that I have heard far too much.Those that we may have once liked but because we heard them over and over from theatre to shopping mall have lost all appeal. I don't care if I never hear another note of West Side Story or Les Miserables. Your choices?
Note: these shouldn't be scores you have always disliked, but those that have lost their magic for you.

I don’t know about entire SCORES, but certain songs…yes.
For instance, I don’t care if Rene Fleming is standing in my bedroom singing SUMMERTIME to me personally while I am having sex with my partner. I would have to ask her if she had another piece. That song is so over done/sung. But I would not throw out all of the PORGY AND BESS score.
I do not want to hear THERE’S A PLACE FOR US any time soon but I really would miss the entire score of WSS.

Posted: 7/29/03 at 5:18pmNone. Simply because they bring back fond memories. I will continue to love them all.

I have to agree with you....Each of them brings back very fond memories and I treasure each of those.

I have to agree with both SueleenGay and Sharon. There are certain songs that I can't stand but most do bring back memories.
If you want to send me shrieking from the room, play “The Wind Beneath My Wings”. Now don’t get me wrong, I do understand the meaning behind it and it’s beautiful. HOWEVER, when she starts that aaaaoooohhhhh I’m sorry but aaggghhh! Hades would be a room where they just pipe that one song in. Oy

grease
pippin
jesus christ superstar
joseph/dreamcoat
south pacific
rent
phantom of the opera
cats
some that i never get tired of tho:

RENT
Once in the theatre was enough.
Yours for a better Broadway!

Posted: 7/31/03 at 9:41pmI also agree with Sharon. While some may get annoying, and I may just need to take a haitus from, there will never be any that I won't want to hear again.

Posted: 7/31/03 at 11:36pmI never want to endure a video clip of Mandy Gonzalez screeching anything from Dance of the Vampires ever, ever again.

Posted: 7/31/03 at 11:43pmWasn't the original question SPECIFICALLY about what scores or songs you liked but due to overplay now never want to hear again? Not songs/shows/artists you never liked.
re: Scores I don't want to hear again.#24
Posted: 7/31/03 at 11:44pmI can guarantee if they had cruelly decided to record Dance of the Vampires, THAT would be my answer. And I liked Bat Out of Hell for three months in 1977. Satisfied?
