:: putting on my asbestos suit ::

RENT is one of the most over-rated scores in the last five decades.

Memphis is the best thing on broadway at the moment.

I liked Samantha Barks as Eponine better than Lea Salonga

Broadway does not need another production of GODSPELL and JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR.

I loved Daphne in Les mis an could listen to her sing it all day every day.

It's apparently unpopular to believe that certain projects won't reach fruition if they keep running a slipshod investment scam that any lawyer could see through.

I like Frank Wildhorn's shows.

#13

I love ALW.

I think A Chorus Line is the most manipulative piece of theater dreak

I think S.S writes better lyrics then music

and most unpopular.. I like going to the theater to be entertained not to wallow in someone else's self pity party of emotion.

I bless all those people that bootleg shows

I think Jennifer Damiano is miscast as Mary Jane in Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark.

I think she probably kicks herself for leaving N2N

I also bless the bootleggers, much the way I would have during prohibition. MMMMMMMM Bathtub gin!

Rent sucks.

I wanted to stick hot forks into my eyes while at Curtains.

I loved Spring Awakening. (There, I said it.)

I loved HIGH and ALL ABOUT ME.

I think Aaron Tveit is talented, but extremely overrated.

Tony Sheldon deserved the 2011 Tony over Norbert Leo Butz (Yes, I saw them both).

Lea Michele needs to go crawl in a hole for a few years since I can't deal with her anymore.

Jordan Catalano and ChiChi have revealed that my unpopular opinions aren't as unpopular as I thought! I too loved Daphne Rubin-Vega in Les Miz and think Sutton Foster is wildly overrated.

Okay, fine, I'll do another that no one else has offered (or is likely to): I really liked The People in the Picture. One more: I haaaaated War Horse.

Go ahead: judge me.

I hated Tommy the Musical and liked the film better.

I hate Spring Awakening and believe that people are better off reading the original play.

I love all three incarnations of Wise Guys/Bounce/Road Show.

I like A Doll's Life and Grind.

I think Richard Kind is a good actor who is underrated and liked him in the Producers(The Musical, not the gawd-awful movie musical!)

And Barbra is too old to play Mama Rose. I liked the idea that was circulating several years ago where Cathering Zeta Jones was goign to play the role and at the time I thought that Greg Jbara needed to throw his hat in the ring for Herbie.

Sauja - I, too, loved "The People In The Picture" and ended up up seeing it 4 times.

Idina Menzel's voice grates on my nerves, and I thought she completely botched "Don't Rain On My Parade" at Barbra's Kennedy Center Honors. I also think Marin Mazzie was better than Alice Ripley as Diana in N2N.

I saw Alice's understudy in N2N. I have to say that when I arrived and found out that I was seeing her instead of Alice, I was actually relieved, because I have never been fond of Alice's voice. All she knows how to do is scream. Side Show was perfect evidence of this.

I love this thread!

- musical composers and orchestrators have lost the art of nuance.

- it's a crime some lyricists get paid for their jobs considering their jobs and output. You're making Tim Rice look like Sondheim and Sondheim like Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Every word doesn't need to rhyme you jerks!

- terming a Broadway musical "indie rock" should also be a crime and be punishable by death. (I'm talking to YOU, Next to Normal, Spring Awakening and Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson) I will punch your face in if you even utter the phrase "Alterna-Rock".

- and while I'm at it: Duncan Sheik has never written a rock song in his life. He had ONE memorable (Hell, the BEST thing he's ever written) POP hit. In 1996. His work since has been middling at best, and frankly, I'd rather sit through Memphis.

Jim Parsons and Patrick Breen were by far the best things in The Normal Heart

Triumph of Love was the best musical of the 1990s
