The Producers. I absolutely hated it.

Cats - There just isn't much to it.
Starlight Express - I don't know if this is considered well known or not...
Mamma Mia - It got annoying really quickly.
Lion King - The costumes and whatnot are good, but I've never cared for the music.

If I so much as hear the first strains of "Tomorrow", I am out the door.
Same here. Everyone I know knows not to sing anything from Annie when they are around me. I will just get up and leave. I hate that show.
And Grease is the other one. DESPISE it!

-Dre- You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree.

There's a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams. Sometimes we're not too certain what's false and what's real. But we're seldom in doubt about what we feel.

It is a far, far better thing I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest I go to, than I have ever known.

I can't say that really despise any show. There are shows that did not live up to my expectations:
Spamalot
Phantom of the Opera
Cats
The Lion King
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
The Secret Garden
There are also some shows that I did not expect that much from going in and my expectations were proven to be correct:
Brooklyn
Bombay Dreams
Bring Back Birdie
A Doll's Life
Angel
The King of Hearts
Platinum
Some of the above only became well known because of their failure.

The Sound of Music.
ADORE the movie, but on stage, it's barely tolerable.

Mamma Mia! hands down. All I was thinking about while sitting there was how much I wanted some Taco Bell.
Fiddler was boring. I mean, "omg, ANOTHER girl gets married against your wishes...didn't see that coming". But I couldn't hate it 'cause I <3 Harvey.

CATS CATS CATS CATS
Good Lord what a torture that show was...and believe me, I know from torture, I once saw Pirates of Penzance done by a middle school.
I just saw Oliver! in Ontario, that was another ghastly ordeal.

Posted: 8/27/06 at 1:43pmCATS, my god what a bore. I wouldn't say I despise it fully, though, because I still love all theater.
One time, Patti LuPone punched me in the face...

I don't really despise Beauty or Fiddler. There are some good songs in them both. But CATS and The Lion King are the ones I truly hate. :P

"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."
