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.

"The stage is where I live and come alive and act out all the things that go on in my life. It's not just what I do for a living, it's my shrink and my love affair. No one in my life has ever or ever will kiss me on the mouth like this lover called my relationship with my performance."

Character from Avenue Q.
But, I kinda like Lucy..so.. Gaston would be my choice too.
I get lost, unless, of course, I'm getting found.

Posted: 11/7/04 at 3:00pmBenny (RENT) I absolutely love to hate him! Ok, he's a "yuppie scum", but he's still lovable.
I have my books and my poetry to protect me...

Posted: 11/7/04 at 3:02pmI 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.

I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog too.

Posted: 11/7/04 at 3:54pmYes, 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")?

#22re: What Musical Character Do You Love To Hate?
Posted: 11/7/04 at 3:55pmYes 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.

Posted: 11/7/04 at 5:23pmIn the category of Hate To Love, Mr. Applegate I believe takes the cake.
