Weirdest Show You've Ever Seen

for a broadway show, would have to say Mamma-Mia...you come all the way to see the show and find out who sophie's dad is, go thru it miserably, and in the last 5 minutes, sophie says she doesn't care you her dad is...? very dissappointing and strange to me

but non-broadway, i would say the barnum and bailey's circus...

In My Life

At NYU's ETW a few years ago, there was a production of "Tom Thumb." The performers' costumes consisted of paper, cardboard, and tinfoil. They spoke in a strange altered version of English that was almost impossible to understand. Tom Thumb was represented by a potato. The front of the stage was covered with potatoes. While the show went on, another cast member, in normal clothes, would videotape it. She would stop the show at certain intervals and turn to the audience to deliver monologues in which she would scream about potatoes and their cultural relevance.

The wierdest show i have ever seen was "tropicana" by the performance art group "shunt." The whole thing took place in the London Underground and it was brilliant. You walked through a non-descript door in a station and you were in this work office thing that was very dirty...after standing in their awhile you walked through a locker and were in the main HUGE performance space...where for an hour or so things went on in the dark and in strobe light(you sat against the wall) Then a huge elevator was moved down the middle of the space like it was going up... but it was going to the side... then you finally went in the final room where an autopsy was performed(fake). Very odd, but oddly entertaining! I am leaving out soooo many things that took place that night, but it was very interesting

A staged production of the St. Matthew Passion. The choir and soloists were supposed to be homeless people. And then dancers "interpreted" the arias....which was interesting when the dance during the aria about Peter helping Jesus carry the cross turned extremely homo-erotic. The dancer representing Mary Magdalene was dressed like MImi in Rent, and she too got quite "friendly" with her Lord.

Add to this, I was sitting in the balcony, where a second choir was seated to sing only the chorales, which meant that everytime there was a chorale, the lights went on in the balcony...which wouldn't have been so bad, except the light operator had NO CLUE where the chorales came, so after every aria, the lights would flash on, then off again, if they weren't needed...it became laughable.

I would have to say the most boring and bad show i have evar seen must be "Miss Saigon" when i saw this show the cast was terrible, the show was just so borin. That show was torture.

SHOW PEOPLE at second stage was pretty weird plotwise. a little too weird for me. I wanted it to be over.

For me, it's a toss-up between Reefer Madness and Jerry Springer: The Opera. I really liked Jerry (RM, not so much so).
