Posted: 6/1/06 at 7:57pmI was in a pretty bad production of "The King and I" when I was 17. I don't know if I'd say I was embarassed, but it wasn't something I was necessarily proud of, either.

Posted: 6/2/06 at 2:57amAll white production of The Wiz. The production was just not very good, and I was...an emerald citizen/winkie/tree. Yes, I played a tree. And our tinman was completely tonedeaf.

My high school had no theater, and I was dying to get to college so I could be in a musical. Tried out for the first one they had, and what did I end up in? An "operetta" written by the theater professor's wife about two victims of a future nuclear holocaust who live underground among the mushroom-eating people and fall in love. Basically it was "West Side Story" meets "Beneath the Planet of the Apes." We're talking bad -- and I do mean BAD. Paint-peelingly, stomach-churningly, earth-shatteringly bad. By the time performances were ready to start, I was so embarrassed I asked my parents NOT to come see it!
The only other musical they did while I was there was some musical version of a medieval play about Noah's Flood. I didn't even bother trying out for that one.
Honestly, all I wanted was a nice, normal "Guys and Dolls" or "My Fair Lady" or "The Music Man" . . .

Actually, I'm not embarrassed by this at all, but I've been in Cannibal! The Musical. It was absolutely amazing, haha.

I got one of the leads in Godspell in High School and the director made me lip sync. I wasn't embarrassed by the show, I was embarrassed that I was dressed up in 60's garb and wasn't allowed to actually sing in a musical.

Here's Love....
Not too bad until you realize there were 50 small children and a for the most part untalented cast. And our director put random songs from other shows in there that werent even in the score.

i did GREASE for a summer program, it actually physically hurt me to perform that show, it was so bad i refuse to put it on my resume... and way way back, I did a show called "the message: a simple twist of fate" and it was the biggest piece of s**t in the whole wide world..... had it ever opened anywhere proffesional, i doubt it would stay open until intermission..... considering it was in the 1700's and people said "psyche!".... and it wasn't ment ot be a comedy, and we couldnt go a night without coming off stage freezing ... the reason? there was a slushy machine in the lobby, and people thought it would enhance the performance if they threw something..... and it kind of did
ThankstoPhantom

Joseph...Dreamcoat
My friend and I played the Narrators (we alternated songs, and sang together sometimes). She was my only saving grace in that show...

I'm so surprised I haven't written in this thread yet!
*Wonderland - I've mentioned it before, but I'll mention it again...it's Alice in Wonderland on even more acid than the original.
*Lagooned - A children's theater production about a cruise ship that is designed to be "shipwrecked" on an island for the passengers to enjoy...except the island is a target for army test bombs or something like that. Horrific.
*Tumbleweeds - Based on the comic strip...it's basically just about hicks. I had to sexually assault a minor, wear wires in my hair, and black out half of my teeth. Not cool.
*Scrooge - Every single person I know who went to go see it fell asleep.
*Li'l Abner - Just a ridiculous show...luckily, I was Stupefyin' Jones and the dance captain and hardly appeared onstage.
*Grease - Enough said. Although it was immensely fun to be in.

Posted: 10/15/06 at 9:32pmI did a production of "Carousel" where I literally tried to hide on stage because it was that bad. We had equity actors in it and it was still a huge horror show.

"i was lowbutt in honk!
i'm in therapy now"
Haha!!! Awww... what I would do to play Ugly just once!!!!
I actually did a show when I was little, my third ever show called Cybernella. I didn't turn my script in from doing Joseph... (The previous show in thaht season) so they said I couldn't have a lead, I had to ensemble.
I would also like to do Bugsy Malone ... not Jr. tho.
I was also in Annie Get Your Gun. I was the Sleeping Car Porter ... and Ensemble ... I hated being wallpaper!

I've worked on one show that I'm somewhat embarassed about. In fact, I can't say the name of it. But it was a rather high-profile Off-Broadway show. To this day, I run into people from that show and they're like, "Yeah I remember you. What show did we do together?" And I'm always embarassed to speak the name, because it invariably induces shudders in all who hear it.
It's on my resume because it's still one of the larger productions I've worked on, but I don't talk about having done it.

Honestly? Eighth grade...
The Attack Of The Giant Green Grasshoppers.
The Synopsis....
At the science fair, the exhibits are goofy: vegetarian piranha fish, Hamburger Helper face cream and wrinkle-free bacon. Unfortunately, Pamela's green potato project was rejected and she vows revenge. Meanwhile, on the remote island of Malibula, something awful has happened at the "Unusual Bug Research Center." The once friendly grasshoppers have turned nasty. What has this to do with the science fair? The face cream has the grasshoppers as a prime ingredient. Anyone who slaps on the goop becomes... no, it's too horrible to report! The trapped students pin their hopes for rescue on Captain Cracknuckle and his SWAT team.
----------
Yes. All the characters in the show turn into giant green grasshoppers.
I win.

The Good Doctor by Neil Simon I think I probably have you all beat. It was in high school and the worst play I've ever been a part of in the last 10 years that I've been doing theatre.
Cheers,
Christopher
