Good God, where do I start

1. Yet to find a Sondheim show with a decent Act 2
2. I just can't get into last five years or Into the Woods
3. Jekyll & Hyde is a brilliant show, it just needs to be guided back to the way it was Warlow/1st Pre-Broadway Run
4 .Parade is a lost gem of Broadway
5. Love Never Dies had a few good songs
6. Oscar Hammerstein would have shot Beane and his new book for Cinderella
7. Someone needs to revive Scarlet Pimpernel. Soon
I think thats enough for now

I love the revival of Annie. Sure it had some problems but I felt it was a very enjoyable night at the theatre and I've seen it twice with Katie and plan on seeing it again very soon with Jane.

I loathe Pippin as a show - I am sure the current cast gives 100% for every demanding performance but I cannot being myself to go see it because that's how much I loathe Pippin.

Also, not a fan of Patti LuPone. In my opinion she's almost become a self-fulfilling caricature of herself.

1. I did not enjoy Mary Poppins. The audience was very energetic, but I could not get into it at all.
2. Jekyll and Hyde (the original Broadway production) is one of my favorite musicals! I love the score and its OBCR is one of the few that I can listen to from beginning to end without skipping anything.
3. I think both Book of Mormon and Catch Me If You Can are great musicals. But I enjoyed Catch Me If You Can more and thought it was the best musical on broadway that season.
4. I love Lea Salonga's voice, but I am not a big fan of the Miss Saigon cast recording. There are some good songs in there, but as a whole, I cannot get through the cast recording. (I listened to it completely through once, and have no desire to play it through again.)
5. I find Sherie Rene Scott's voice on the cast recording of The Last Five Years to be kind of annoying and whiny. I like Norbert Leo Butz's songs in there though, so I listen to only half of that cast recording.

I feel like Kinky Boots is just The Full Monty, but with shoes...and fewer interesting characters.

I've seen Hamilton 5 times & think Phillipa Soo is the worst. I close my eyes when she's on. In fact, the show would be better if she and Hamilton both were written out. Odom and Diggs carry the show. 


Realistic Joneses was the worst show ever 


Miss Saigon obc was entertaining, but artistic crap


Jelly's Last Jam is underrated, it needs a revival


I haven't seen a breakout female star in a decade or more. No one lights up a room


Something Rotten sucks big time. It has 1.5 decent songs, otherwise it's zzzzzz

For someone that loves Hamilton, you don't really get it.


If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

"A Chorus Line" is nowhere near one of Broadway's best shows, and I say that having seen its terrific original cast.

On the heels of MVintheheartland's comment:

 

I think BOOK OF MORMON would be a far superior show as a one act.

I can't stand Footloose, I despise Hairspray, and I'm completely over Grease at this point.

 

I actually loved Nick Jonas' performance as Marius.

 

I cannot listen to Suddenly, Seymour unless it's Ellen Greene singing. I bow down to her.

 

I think Patti LuPone is overrated and that she wasn't nearly as good a Mrs. Lovett as Angela Lansbury.

 

I actually like Jekyll and Hyde's Confrontation, thank you very much.

 

Javert's awesome.

 

...Sorry, I had a lot to let out.

The revival of Godspell in 2012 is far superior then the original.

-I think Patti LuPone is actually a very nice lady, and that, while she does act like a diva at times, most of the time it's something that was deserved (like the Sunset Boulevard argument, in which Andrew really screwed her over. I don't think she's right about the thing about how he hates women, but I do think that she has significant reasons to be mad at him).

-I really don't like The Music Man

-I think that Into the Woods is a musical that's better crafted than Sweeney Todd.

-I think that Sondheim, while certainly a very good composer, can act like a complete asshole sometimes and might be one of the cattiest people I've ever seen (the guy submitted a letter to The New York Times surrounding all of his grievances with the revival of Porgy and Bess, while not having anything to do with it at all).

-I enjoyed the musical Beauty and the Beast, and believe that it was actually an attempt to tell a story instead of make a quick buck.

-I find Sondheim's tunes to be very hummable
