What Musical Character Do You Love To Hate?

I'd say Bud Frump in HOW TO SUCCEED...


That swarmy, kiss-ass SOB was just made to be hated!!!


My favorite "Frump" moment:

"I DON'T call my Uncle to complain when I have a problem around here. I call my MOTHER, she calls my AUNT--who then complains to my UNCLE. That's the DEMOCRATIC way!"


Well, that's mine.


What's yours? :)

I'm sorry, but I don't know who 'Paradice' is.


Could you please help me out?


Thanks!!! :)

THANKS!

Unfortunately, I live 2,000 miles from NYC so I haven't seen BROKLYN yet.

Actually, as it relates to 'Paradice'. I did not love to hate her. I actually liked her because she was the only real and interesting character in "Brooklyn". I guess she was supposed to be a villain but the script was so badly done that she was the one I was actually pulling for.

Even though "The Lion King" is not one of my favorite shows (it's okay), a character like 'Scar' is someone you can love to hate.

Gaston from Beauty and the Beast. I know there are better ones, but I can't seem to think of any right now.

Javert from Les Miserables and Benny from RENT.

Wow... I would have to say Charlie Cowell Form the busic man and Benny from Rent...

Benny (RENT) I absolutely love to hate him! Ok, he's a "yuppie scum", but he's still lovable.

I agree with Scar - and how could you hate poor, yet fairly evil Javert? I've always had a special place in my heart for Javvy.

Benny all the way! My pitt could squash his akita any day.

[Mary_Ethel]

Posted: 11/7/04 at 3:06pm

jazzmin, what's an 'akita'?

[PennyLou]

Posted: 11/7/04 at 3:30pm

Orin Scavelo DDS from Little Shop.

Benny's dog is an akita
Angle: Who die?
Benny: Our akita, (all) evita

Javert from Les Miserables and the boss in Promises, Promises. He is just such an a**hole to the main character and to Fran.

[Mary_Ethel]

Posted: 11/7/04 at 3:54pm

Yes, wickedfan, Sheldrake is a real jerk to both Chuck AND Fran. Did you know that in THE APARTMENT (source of PROMISES, PROMISES) Sheldrake is played by good ol' Fred MacMurray ("My Three Sons")?

[wickedfan]

Posted: 11/7/04 at 3:55pm

Yes I did. Audiences weren't very happy with that. Pleased with his performance, but not with the fact that it was him. I love the apartment and Promises, Promises adapts it very well.

In the category of Hate To Love, Mr. Applegate I believe takes the cake.
