Scores I don't want to hear again.

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.

Carousel, Oklahoma!

I have heard them soooo many times!

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.

"STARLIGHT EXPRESS".....why?????

[sharon1]

Posted: 7/29/03 at 5:18pm

None. Simply because they bring back fond memories. I will continue to love them all.

Phantom.

ANNIE is score I can't stand, i think TOMORROW is the most annoying song in the world. i could never tired chorus line, les mis, chicago,or west side story.

[alterego]

Of course! Starlight Express. Then again I could also add Aspects of Love to the list.

Posted: 7/31/03 at 12:45pm

Sharon...

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

i must agree with those that say they bring back fond memories of either seeing the show or being in it. on the other hand it takes me about a year to get oevr it and listen to it again. some that i have had way too much of:

grease
pippin
jesus christ superstar
joseph/dreamcoat
south pacific
rent
phantom of the opera
cats

some that i never get tired of tho:
sweeney todd
you're a good man charlie brown
wild party (lippa)

[Hank]

RENT. That song with all the numbers...
CATS. Love the species, hated the show.

[Dollypop]

Did SPECIFIC UNDERWEAR...err...PACIFIC OVERTURES ever have any magic for me? Too much kabuki is not a good thing!

Posted: 7/31/03 at 9:20pm

RENT

Once in the theatre was enough.

Yours for a better Broadway!

[Hello Gorgeous]

I 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.

[MusicMan]

Posted: 7/31/03 at 11:16pm

Anything by La Chiusa, Guettel, Brown, and Finn---the worst scores...ever.

[Phantess]

Posted: 7/31/03 at 11:27pm

Rent
Bye Bye Birdie

and Music of the Night from POTO

I never want to endure a video clip of Mandy Gonzalez screeching anything from Dance of the Vampires ever, ever again.

[Sunfish]

Posted: 7/31/03 at 11:43pm

Wasn'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.

[FindingNamo]

I 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?
