What Shows Do You HATE That You've Never Seen?

I hate lots of shows and I'm almost positive my opinions wouldn't change if I ever saw them so I don't plan on it because it would be a total waste of my time to watch something I don't know anything about and hate so much.

Cute, Jordan, cute...

No wonder people throw hissy fits and have mental breakdowns on these boards...

But I'm not even going to not like you Jordan. I enjoy your posts too much...

It isn't so much hating the show that's important, it's NOT SEEING the show that becomes the focal point of this discussion. Why would anyone want to see a show they hate without seeing it? I mean, I can listen to the soundtrack of the show and know its a hateful experience, so why pay $75--or demand comps when you can just stand outside the theater and hate it for free?

I didn't see this community theater production called CJ N2N. It was so stupid.

There was a line in [tos] about Hunter hating some show that he then admitted he had never seen. (I can't remember what show it was though.) He remarked that he loved when people had opinions about shows they had never seen.

Like Funny Girl with Streisand?

Mama Mia and Rock of Ages are two currently on Broadway that I "hate" and would never dream of seeing them.

Phantom. Fvck that noise.

After Eight- I never said I hated Funny Girl. I said it had a weak book and a very strong score. I have seen a production of Funny Girl though so I can judge the show.

The way I took this thread and Hunter's comment in [tos] was that some people like to hate something because it's "cool" to hate it, even if they haven't experienced it themselves. For example someone could say they hated Wicked without seeing it so they could give the impression they had "sophisticated" taste.

Rock of Ages. Just not my type of music, pop or otherwise.

And Streisand's performance?

When Barbra decides to do ROCK OF AGES, or any B'way show for that matter, I'll be there. It might not be FUNNY GIRL, but it'll be...interesting.

Streisand's performance I'm judging from the OBCR and other sound evidence.

The question wasn't which performance do you hate/judge that you haven't seen. It was which show do you hate that you haven't seen.

I didn't want to continue this on but I might as well explain myself while I get bad mouthed even more...

I said that because I read it in a book. Nope, I'm not kidding. Yes, I listened and watched videos of it years and years ago and wasn't a fan, but I said it because I read it in the book "Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll, and Musicals". I figured that was a common opinion so I said it so I could fit in with everyone. Nope, I'm not joking. I just wanted you all to like me. Yes, it's SO high school, but hey, I'm 15 what can you expect?

I'm sorry that I spoke before I actually revisited it myself and gained my own, mature opinion.

Not that this will affect (effect? I can never get those) any ones judgements about me (which is sort of ironic, seeing as you never met me, yet you hate me which is in a way hypocritical but I digress.....).

I'm sorry.

Seussical... totally overrated. The only song I actually enjoyed was the overture. Besides that it was crap to me...

Bombshell, especially without Ivy Lynn. Damn that director

In [Title of Show] Hunter says Dee Hoty was fierce in "Whorehouse Goes Public" and Jeff asks if he saw it and Hunter replies "No, but I have opinions about things I've never seen all the time."

Spiderman. Just because people almost died in it. Plus Spiderman on Broadway is ruining Broadway.

Thank you nasty khakis!! That's exactly what I was thinking of.

I'm the opposite - I love shows I know nothing about.
