Glengarry Glen Ross (I think I remember leaving at intermission, which I've only done with one other show)
Light in the Piazza (mainly because my expectations were way too high)
Godspell (which is why I'm sorry for those involved with the recent postponement/cancellation, but not sorry that the show itself won't be produced)

Spring Awakening - I feel that this show is just too much for broadway. while some of the songs are good, much of the lyrics do not make sense. i don't understand why people would want to go to broadway and see some of the things exhibited in spring awakening onstage. i haven't seen the show, but i think i would be highly uncomfortable.

phantom of the opera - this show has wonderful music, but i just don't see how it has stuck around for so long. the story is not particularly poigant or something that relates to a lot of people or up with the times. sure it's a good show, but I feel it's time has come and gone.

south pacific - maybe i just don't get this show. i was in it last year at school, and i didn't like it then. i understand the message that it is trying to put out but it just doesn't seem like the kind of story that would make a broadway show. i don't find the songs particularly entertaining either.

I kinda thought the same thing but, it didnt make me feel uncomfortable at all. IMO its done in good taste...

THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA- I've tried and tried to like this show, but I just get bored by it. There are some pretty songs, but it just becomes so slow and plodding to me.

THE LION KING- Great direction, but a painfully dull show.

PASSION- Not everyone's favorite, but I can't stand it (despite Donna Murphy's terrific performance). I never thought I'd prefer Disney to Sondheim, but I would have liked to see BEAUTY AND THE BEAST win. I find it a superior show with an excellent score (including the songs from the movie), even if it lost some of the magic of the movie.

Mamma Mia and The Lion King were my least favorites. I'd say Legally Blonde but I've only seen it on MTV.
