What are the most overrated broadway shows? what shows are the most deserving of their popularity?

If you mean current Broadway shows, and if by overrated, you're referring to their reception from the critics, then certainly the stupid, juvenile Book of Mormon heads the list. Among plays, there are the obnoxious snoozers, Constellations and The River.
But come April, the appalling Fun Home will tower over all and everything in sight.

This also applies to the West End as well as Broadway
The Book of Mormon
Matilda
Both good shows, but not as outstanding as people say.

tazber, I think this is a bit of a different topic.
I've already said my overrated, but I think in terms of deserving of their popularity, most long-running shows before 1970, Wicked, and Chicago.
