Day 4 - A song demonstrating how overrated you think a musical is.
For me, probably anything from BLOOD BROTHERS.

Posted: 4/15/11 at 8:46amPractically every second song in MAME. I just don't understand why the story/character is so popular. It isn't particularly interesting.

Posted: 4/15/11 at 8:58amRace You To The Top Of The Morning from 'The Secret Garden'. I loved the book as a child but found the musical dull and slow. A couple of nice songs but wouldn't rush back.

The Word of Your Body- Spring Awakening- Good show, but way overrated in my opinion, hence, why I answered the question with this response.

Posted: 4/15/11 at 11:43am"Circle of Life" from Lion King. Fantastic opening number, then the rest of the show drags on and on with nothing new or inventive from that point forward.

Posted: 4/15/11 at 12:13pmI have to agree with Broadway on this one. When I saw Lion King I was so bored after the opener.
If I didn't believe in you
We'd never have gotten this far
If I didn't believe in you
And all of the ten thousand women you are
If I didn't think you could do
Anything you ever wanted to
If I wasn't certain that you'd come through somehow
THe fact of the matter is, Cathy
I wouldn't be standing here now

Posted: 4/15/11 at 1:09pmAdd me to the chorus of "Anything from Lion King!" It's staying power confounds me. Visually stunning, but I've never felt the desire to sit through it a second time.

I'll chime in with "The Circle Of Life" from the Lion King also.
When I finally got around to seeing it (I think on it's third time on tour to Seattle), at the end all I kept thinking was it would have been a lot better if they just did the opening "Circle of Life" number, lowered a screen to show the movie version, then raised the screen up at the end and do the reprise finale of "Circle of Life" again. I would have enjoyed it a lot more.

I'll have to say "Perpetual Anticipation" or "The Miller's Son" from A Litte Night Music. There are some fun songs but I found it a little boring overall.
I havent's seen Billy Elliot yet, but "Electricity" is the only song that I like (love) from the West End cast recording.
Edited: thanks for the correction. :)
