This has happened a lot to me- people rave and rave about how amazing a show is and I can't find one thing about the show that would ever initiate a positive review. . .What are the top three worst shows you've ever seen that everyone else seemed to praise?

Just out of curiosity, what about Brooklyn and Wicked didn't you like? Interesting answers, so far!

I agree on Mamma Mia- I never understood the fascination. . .I never really understood it with Phantom either. . .beyond the beautiful sets, it didn't do much for me, at all. . .

With "Wicked," I guess, I just don't "get it." First time I saw it was right after it first opened. Kristen C was out the day that I saw it, and her stand by, Laura BB, went on for her, and she was wonderful. But, in all fairness, I saw "The Boy From Oz" the day before and was still in a state of awe from Hugh Jackman's performance. So, I could have seen anything, and I would still be thinking about Hugh.

Then I saw it again a year later in "Chicago," to give it a 2nd look. Still didn't care for it.

So, I gave it a 3rd try last year. Stephanie Block was brilliant. But, the show itself.....just don't care for it.

Going to hazard a guess and say 'Wicked' and 'Rent' are going to crop up a lot in peoples lists, deserved or not.

I never really warmed to Starlight Express, Blood Brothers or anything Gilbert + Sullivan.

Wouldn't say they're the worst shows at all though, just not really for me.

Adding Machine
Wicked

Personally, I thought ADDING MACHINE was a mess. I thought the book was poorly constructed, I thought the issues it was trying to explore never really took centerstage, and I thought the music was great- but wasn't motivated and not logical in the context of the plot. I personally thought it was a sloppy musical with a terrible book.

And as for WICKED- it just didn't seem like that much fun when I saw it. It just never turned into what I thought it would. Also- I hated the opening number, and it set a bad tone for the rest of the show (which probably wasn't quite as bad as that terrible opening sequence.)
