Oh, I completely agree with Mamma Mia- that is another NYC regret!

I enjoyed Titanic- of, course, I was young at the time, but I still really enjoy alot of the music. That was quite a production.


So, that was the Drowsy Chaperone. Oh, I love it so much. I know it's not a perfect show...but it does what a musical is supposed to do. It takes you to another world, and it gives you a little tune to carry with you in your head for when you're feeling blue. Ya know?

I don't think I can say that I have ever "regretted" seeing a show -- especially not a Broadway or other professional show.

Same here. I got a lot of mocking mileage out of the ones I thought were awful.

Drowsy, although I don't regret seeing anything. I like seeing anything, but I just didn't get it I suppose.

I only regret seeing 2 shows: Lestat and Threepenny Opera.

Now, I believe there is a huge difference in the show being downright terrible and the acting being terrible. In past shows I have seen like BKLYN the show was terrible. I admit that. But that show had some of the best female vocalists I have ever heard, and although the lyrics were horrid, Eden Espinosa shined to me in that show. However, in Lestat/Threepenny I found myself actually dazing off heading towards the SLEEEPING ZONE. The only song that woke me up in Lestat was, "I WANT MORE" sung by the little girl.


I made a list of all your faults, it was quite detailed and lengthy too and when I read it through I missed you. Your like a classic Eagles song, you just cant help but sing along even though it sometimes gets annoying too. I just know I want to be wherever I can wake and see you there next to me. **High Fidelity** Love is what I do **The Wedding Singer** Xanadu - Best NEW Musical of the Season!

Even if a show is bad, I usually don't regret seeing it.

GOOD VIBRATIONS! and IN MY LIFE - nothing at all against the cast. Just the shows.

I 'regret' wasting time/energy/money that I would have spent on another show or something outdoors:

Lestat in SF
We Will Rock You in London
Brooklyn in NYC

Ouch! Legally Blonde regrets already? Of course, I have absolutely no interest in that show at all... And I do generally have good instincts!


So, that was the Drowsy Chaperone. Oh, I love it so much. I know it's not a perfect show...but it does what a musical is supposed to do. It takes you to another world, and it gives you a little tune to carry with you in your head for when you're feeling blue. Ya know?

Magpie- off bway.
Girl with seizures meets boy with ADD at their bike messenger company (only they can't do the bike) and then he gives her his meds. Oh he's latino and her mom is a ghost and apparently your are a bit dim if you have seizures and have a palsey like hand if you have ADD. Nuff said.
