"I can not stand SITPWG"
Does. Not. Compute.

I'm not crazy about Spring Awakening (but don't I hate it either), but I like 'Don't Do Sadness/Blue Wind'.

You're right. Seeing it live is an absolutely amazing experience, it's such a human show so it does need to be seen live. I really do hope you get a chance to see it. Maybe you'll get lucky and a local theatre group will do it near you.

LOVE company and the soundtrack!!

but lets see...back to the topic...i haven't seen NINE, and I don't know if it is a show I would really like, but I LOVE "Unusual Way." Laura Benanti's version is to DIE for

If you loved Laura Benanti, then you should have heard Rebecca Luker do it. I generally find her to have all the charm & charisma of Wonder Bread, but she has the voice of an angel. Her delivery of the song was breathtaking.

I confess to liking So Much Better but I'm an unabashed critic of Legally Blonde. The show's awful.

The majority of Chess. Great music, the show itself is another story.

I love "Raven", "Once Upon A Time", and "Heart Behind These Hands." But the rest is laughable.

Once Upon A Time from Brooklyn... otherwise I can't stand the show...

re: Songs you love in shows you hate...

I have no especial 'Brooklyn' opinions, apart from being another one who rather likes 'Once Upon A Time'. :3

Also, I'm about to say something that's going to get me followed into an alley and beaten to within an inch of my life, but I was never that big on 'Follies'. It's taken me longer to click with shows, so I imagine I will love it one day, but I don't really care for it at the moment. Apart from 'Losing My Mind' (especially sung by Anthony Warlow XD) and 'The God-Why-Don't-You-Love-Me Blues'.

That's it really. Can I say goodbye to my family before the kicking begins?

I normally hate "Beauty School Dropout" even though I love Grease, and I normally hated the second-most recent revival, but I absolutely loved Billy Porter's "Beauty School Dropout" in that revival.

I don't know CHESS enough to hate it, but I don't like most of the songs from it that I have heard, but I loooove "I Know Him So Well" and "Someone Else's Story."
From shows I actually do hate:
"Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again"-PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
"Poor Unfortunate Souls"-THE LITTLE MERMAID
"As If We Never Said Goodbye"-SUNSET BLVD.
"Here I Am"-DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS
"See,I'm Smiling," "A Summer in Ohio," "Still Hurtin," "Goodbye, Until Tomorrow/I Could Never Change You"-THE LAST 5 YEARS
"When You Got It, Flaunt It"-THE PRODUCERS
