Many of the more popular shows but the one I was really expecting to like but just couldn't find its appeal is probably Side Show. It's just the kind of show I usually love and just obscure enough for my likings, but I've listened to it a few times through and I don't think it's anything other than annoying.

"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist. Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino. This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more. Tazber's: Reply to Is Stephen Schwartz a Practicing Christian

Light in the Piazza - about a third of it was in a language I can't understand (which seriously irritated me) and it had an unsatisfactory ending.

The Drowsy Chaperone and The Light in the Piazza (the story was cute, but otherwise it did nothing for me).

Aida. Got the cast recording and hated the score except for about 3 songs. Thought "well maybe I'll like it better if I see it live". Saw the show and still didn't like it.

I totally see what people are saying about Rent but I just love the songs so much. I was just watching the movie with a non-Broadway loving friend and it made me realize how hilarious/ridiculous some of it is. SO 90s angst. But, I still love it.

I just could not get into Drowsy Chaperone. I can't believe it is so popular.
