Shows You Regret Seeing — Page 2

I don't regret seeing shows, even if they were bad.

Then you can say they sucked, and people can't argue because you actually did see them. if you say "I heard that sucks" or "I have the cd and it sucks" you have no proof of if the show sucked.

And I've been pretty lucky that out of the hundreds of shows I've seen I've really only NOT enjoyed like 2.

I regret seeing NICK & NORA in 1991. It was not a learning experience--it was just a terrible, regretable mess of a show.

---

Okay, le tme rephrase: I regret letting my friends talk me into spending my money on the G-d awful Producers when I didn't want to see it in the first place.

"Wicked"
"Butley"

The only reason I regret seeing Beauty and the Beast is because when I say what my first Broadway musical was the truth is B&B, but I always use the second show I saw; The King and I revival with the brilliant Donna Murphy.

I didn't like seeing: Fiddler On The Roof revival (Alfred Molina, Heartbreak House, and Spamalot.

Master Class with Faye Dunaway. I should have stopped with Caldwell and LuPone.

Don't regret seeing shows but A WONDERFUL LIFE the Musical was horrendous.

The only two shows I regret seeing are Tarzan and Phatnom. I am not only talking about a money standpoint. I believe that the amound of money one paid for a show can add into the feeling of regreat they have after seeing a show they hate. I can see anyone saying "I spend THAT money on THIS?!?!?"

But, I regreat seeing Phantom because it was just well let me say that bad wouldn't even begin to descirbe it. I personally don't know why this show pops the cork and has cake after every preformance. And there was a poster ( forgot who) who said a statment that I agree with. If the Really Useful group was in fact really useful they would close this show. I also regreat the fact that I had to essentally graval at my mother's feet to let me see a wednesday afternoon show and it ended up being Phantom. I left at intermission.

Tarzan had some catchy music and that was it. I was lucky enough to snag a 20 dollar ticket and had I paid a dollar more I would have bitched to the box office. That was a show that I stayed till the end.

I never regret seeing a show....OKAY one...Beauty and the Beast when Donny Osmond was in it. ONLY because one week later Jonathan Freeman and John Tartaglia joined the cast and then I was pissed because I wanted to see it again.

And then some productions could have been bad...like Tarzan, but I don't regret seeing it because of the wonderful cast.

I do regret NOT seeing Spring Awakening.

Donny was in BatB?? as who?

Yeah I don't really regret seeing any shows. Well I took my grandma to her first SOndheim show, when I was a teen, a community production of A Little Night Music that was so awful and wrong--nearly the whoel cast approached the piece as a cartoon which ruined th eentire show--but my grandma realized that it was the production not the piece itself at fault--I was just kinda embarassed for her sake. But I suppose community productions don't count or else a lot more will be listed on here...

I can nearly always find something to redeem a show, no matter how bad it may be (and a glass or two of wine before and in the interval can work wonders), but I really regret being talked into spending money on Notre Dame de Paris.

I also regret being taken to the original London production of Into the Woods when I was nine and not being able to remember any of it

The Harlem Globetrotters, lol.

for broadway - 1776 and Titanic. I agree that I don't regret seeing any Broadway shows because you can at least form your own opinion on them and be taken seriously if you've seen them. And I didn't pay for either of the tickets, so it wasn't like I lost money. The other one I regret seeing (and paying for!) was James Joyce's The Dead

I regret spending money on, and convincing a friend to do likewise on, The Pirate Queen. I've stated my reasons on these boards long enough. But I feel betrayed by my money. It usually brings me such good things.
