As much as I love Reefer Madness, it is very strange, especially Alan Cumming in the beginning.
and Cats is a bit strange as well.

Dance with Me in 1975. It was supposed to be avant garde, but it was just plain awful.
It made In My Life seem like a fabulous production of Sondheim's finest work. (Only had to go back 20 years to find something worse than In My Life.)

I'm surprised no one said Pippin yet. I saw the abridged video version, but it was still very weird and it took me a few days to actually get interested in it, and now, I'm playing acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and banjo for my high school production of it.

No, it is strange, but in a good way. Mostly the ending is very strange.
I can't come up with an entry in this one... partly because theater itself is weird. And I mean that as praise.
Generally, I feel that most good productions are weird in some way or other. If a production has no weirdness, then it's probably too conventional for me to remember.
I recently did a show at my high school that was a series of short plays by David Ives entitled "All in the Timing". Most of them were pretty funny, but, as always, I got stuck in this weird one called "Phillip Glass Buys a Loaf of Bread". It was the most deranged piece of theatre that I've ever been a part of. People keep trying to convince me it was just artistic or existential, but I was unimpressed. That, or Shockheaded Peter (which I saw when I was like 10 at the New Victory Theater). THAT was weird...

Nine. Sorry, loved Antonio Bandares - but, unless you are into Felini - - it made no sense.

It was wierd in a a good way. Alot of unexpected action.

In My life was totally enjoyable in our humble opinion. It is a guilty pleasure & my wife & I are glad we saw it
Re NINE, loved the show which made it (8 1/2) somewhat understandable. We tried a few times to get thru 8 1/2 the movie & never made it
Assassins- lol
