Seussical - I actually got free tickets to this show on tour. I left at intermission. On top of it, I got stuck in the balcony and the stage was TOO far...that didn't help.

Yeah, even if it was a really boring show (with the exception of Seussical), if it was on Broadway, and someone gave me free tickets, why the heck not?

I would turn down a show with free tickets if I didn't like it, why would I want to put myself through something like that again if I hated it the first time?
And hang on, when did you win the discus?

Millie! Maybe it would be a different story if I saw Sutton in the role...

Chitty Chitty Bang-Bang (London) when it comes to B-way keep in mind the affects are awesome and there's some funny bits, but the music is so insipid! and it DRAGS...

*Reads the rules*
*Ignores the rules*

Phantom.

I personally am just as interested to hear people's opinions on still running shows that they wouldn't see again for a free ticket...(and isn't it more likely to get a free ticket to a show that is still running than not? I mean...really if I got a free ticket to a show not currently running...I probably COULDN'T go see it.)

Anyway point being -- I'd like to hear what shows (currently playing included) people wouldn't see again.

I'm surprised no one hasn't already said it, but without a doubt, mine would the The Sweet Smell of Success. I HATED this show. Just sitting through the whole thing was aweful. I thought it would never end.

mike.

Phantom is the one I was going to say too. I haaaated that show, thought it would never end.


Plum,

Do you understand why when you asked what the masked musical was I found it to be ironic??

This is too easy, though I hate your rule about currently running shows - so my partial list is this one:
The Civil War
Jeckyl and Hyde
The Scarlett Pimpernell
Urban Cowboy
Oh - to heck with it - currently running: Phantom of the Opera, Beauty and the Beast.
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!" Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!

well, i have to go with shows I've seen at high schools (i know, they are diff, but still, I want to chime in lol).

-Annie Get Your Gun was just plain boring
-Even though I love the music from Footloose, I have to say I will think about seeing another production of this.

Hm, seems Cats was bad lol. and redhot dislikes Wildhorn lol

There is not too much I would not see for free however I saw "Crazy For You" at my old high school last year and it was terribly long and drawn out so I could probably say that I wouldn't go and see that again, but if it were not a high school production then maybe. Except for the fact that it's a musical theater high school and all the sets are from NY. O well, who knows. That is a hard question.
