Never heard of Caroline AND Change. Must've sucked big time. On the other hand Caroline, or Change. Has some of the most amazing music I've heard on Broadway.
As for shows I've been in that I want dead: The Sound of Music, Fame, and Fiddler on the Roof. I can't stand them anymore. Strangely enough, I can still tolerate Big: The Musical.

"snoopy" - i was sally brown...speaking in that voice for a few weeks will kill anyone.
"joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat" - i've done it twice...enough said.
"the music man" - yup...you all know how that is.
"kiss me, kate" - okay, so it's a so-so show..but seriously, after hearing those songs for SO long with AWFUL people singing them, i can't do it anymore.
and i was in GREASE and loved it!! but we did, after all, only rehearse for 10 days....so i guess i didn't really have time to get sick of it. and i was rizzo - so i had so much fun!!!!

And if she'll say, "My darling, I'm yours!" I'll throw away my striped tie and my best pressed tweed, all I really need is the girl...

Posted: 12/24/04 at 4:28pmour town! I hated the show to begin with.
"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

The Music Man
Oklahoma
I've also been in two productions each of "All My Sons" and "The Normal Heart." I'd be very reluctant to see either one of them.

I guess I'm lucky - I've been in all the typically annoying shows - Birdie, Music Man, etc but had wonderful experiences with all of them that I can actually see or hear them and it makes me happy.
Except for one dreaded experience, called:
JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT
Musicals with shrieking children's choruses should be outlawed. The curtain call was almost as long as the show! The awful Joseph "Mega-Mix." OH GOD.
SOUTH PACIFIC comes close, but I just think that's a terrible show to begin with.

Annie! I was in it twice, and I NEVER EVER EVER want to hear it again... but that's impossible since I always hear "Tomorrow" or "Maybe".
The Sound of Music-- when I was in it, the production sucked. We had just a few weeks to pull it together, and the girl playing Maria couldn't sing at all.
Grease-- wow. Horrendous production of that! My director tried to teach us these dance routines that 90% of the people couldn't do, so every musical number was killed.
I have my books and my poetry to protect me...

"See here's the thing. Grease! is an excellent show. If done right. The movie ruined Grease by taking itself seriosuly. The original production in the 70's was straight camp, tounge in cheek and thats what made it work. The slew of Travolta impressions that waltz all over the stage now and a need to recreate the movie have ruined what once was an excellent show. "
I think the original script and stage ideas are much better than the movie--but the movie wasn't taken very seriously... Watch all those lame making ofs, etc--the director calls it camp. It's just not well done IMHO really--and has become overated.
Mine? Fame (aka Fame on 42nd Street). God****ingawful. Though the title song was fun to perform I admit.

What a nightmare!

Posted: 12/25/04 at 1:37amI must say i agree with that Grease comment, because I have seen a really great production of the show (too bad i wasn't in that one insted). The movie is just horrendous they cut all my favorite songs. Mooning and Freddie My Love.
