My parents didn't like The Wild Party
My wife hated The Frogs, and she detests it when I play my recordings of Barnum and Promises, Promises. She thinks they are too "cheesy" LOL.

Rent, Rent, and more Rent. Next time I hear, "Isn't that the play where everybody has AIDS, and they all die?" I'll ditch my friends. Cause this isn't the only thing they say about me, and this isn't the only thing they say about musical theater.
People call me "obsessed" with Wicked, just because I saw it a bunch of times. Someone dared another person to ask me how many times I've seen it, just so they could laugh in my face and say that I'm "obsessed" again. Yeah, no fun, and VERY obnoxious.

My sister DETESTS the thought of Sweeney. Granted, she's never watched it or really listened to it, she thinks it's a stupid idea for a musical. And my mom's like, "...That's weird."
She and my mom also don't like Reefer Madness. They're like, "It's cheesy!" and I'm like ... THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT. IT'S CAMPY.
It makes baby Jesus cry.

I loved Sweeney. My brother and sister-in-law hated it. My brother sked why there was only one set. I said because it's taking place in a mental institution. My brother's reply, "Where'd you get that idea from? How was I supposed to know that?" Ummm...the straightjacket...
Loved Rent. My mom hated it.

SPELLING BEE- my sister and i loved it, but my mom thought it was very innappropriate (she secretly liked it though-she told my dad she and her should see it sometime without us :P )
and btw, hate to threadjack, but what would be a good show to take my girlfriend to (she likes any musical theatre), like, that is somewhat romantic and fun?
sorry, had to ask that...

Posted: 4/20/06 at 9:53pmI adore Sweeney Todd like no other and my mom hated it. However i think that with the revival you have to be familiar with the story and the score before seeing it. I don't know I could be wrong.

I loved Sweeney, and I think if Steve would have come with me he would not........would have been too gruesome for him......
He also would not like Into the Woods....it's too busy and he would lose interest.

Posted: 4/20/06 at 10:59pmRENT. My mom didn't hate it and she liked the message of it, but she's just not a theater person in general.
