Ship wrecked with only 5 broadway scores to burn to keep you warm at night!

This idea sprung from another thread.

Ok, you're ship wrecked on a deserted island. Washed on shore are the orchestra scores of 5 shows you absolutley hate.
Its getting dark and have to stay warm...must burn something!

Ok, what are those scores?

For me it would be:

The Life
The King and I
Zanna Dont
The Likes of US (... and I love ALW, but this one stinks.)
Dracula

-Dre- You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree.

There's a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams. Sometimes we're not too certain what's false and what's real. But we're seldom in doubt about what we feel.

And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps... What did she realize, Kitten? That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs. What's wrong with that? Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had... Where? On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.

...What happened next, was stranger still, a woman breathless and afraid, appeared out of the night, completely dressed in white. She had a secret she would tell, of one who had mistreated her. Her face and frightened gaze, my mind cannot erase...But then she ran from view. She looked so much like you...

I don't think people realize this is asking for 5 of your LEAST favorite scores. Sweeney? Piazza? Taboo? Hairspray? These are some great scores people are "burning."
