Grease. I don't hate it right now, it's still one of my favorite shows, but after doing spotlights for our high school production and thus seeing it performed through bad rehearsals many, many times, I just need a break from it.

I was nuts about Phantom when it came out. I was 8, which is why I sort of think of it as a kids music for nerdy goths.

I have to say POTO. It was the first musical I heard and fell in love with . Now everytime I i hear the music, it's like nails to a chalkboard.

Wicked
Chicago

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.

Wicked.

I still go for various reasons (namely the Elphaba songs and the book, which are probably the only things that hold up, IMO).

Unfortunately, repeat viewings quickly took the bloom off the rose with the rest of the score. And some questionable casting choices has been the biggest problem for me.

I OD-ed on Wicked in 2004 in a major way. It's not that I can't stand it anymore... I just have no desire to see it live onstage again and very little desire to listen to the recording. I can take it in small doses, I guess. A song here or there.

I think I might be a bit over Spamalot as well now, sad to say. Still love it- still laugh when I listen to it... but between my initial trip to see the show and going two other times now with different friends paying for my ticket... I guess I'm a bit spammed-out.

Wicked. I loved it at first, but now i'm just so so so sick of the songs... I'm in high school, and wicked has become the musical of choice by kids who don't normally see Broadway shows. Now, EVERYONE'S obsessed, and it's just like, AHHH! can't stand wicked anymore!

And surprisingly, even though I've played the OBC cds to death and seen the show 5 times, i am still in love with rent... and not because it's trendy, bc obviously trendy oversung shows like wicked (and yes...rent) usually annoy me after a while!

Sadly, Chicago. Loved the London recording with Ruthie Henshall, loved the show when I saw it, liked the movie...I think the Sirius Broadway station played "Razzle Dazzle" too much...it got old.

Les Miserables - I loved, loved, loved my copy of the OLC recording, but by the time I finally got to seeing the show itself, it was in its last few months before it closed on Broadway. The cast was awful, save for the Valjean and Javert, and after that, the flaws I used to overlook were so painfully obvious. It just squelched any love I had for the show.

Phantom of the Opera - I loved the book, so I forced myself into liking the show for a while ... but now I simply can't listen to music from it without rolling my eyes.

Stop looking at my charisma.
