They are the only two shows in 40 years of being a passionate musical theatre fan that I absolutely hated almost every minute of.

Never Gonna Sing should have been the name of it.
It was the only show on my list with potential not to be a total disaster. Sad very sad. Updated On: 2/24/04 at 06:35 PM

honestly, I'm with BroadwayGirl. I didn't love NGD, but I did really enjoy it. With the exception of Nancy Lemanger (sp?) none of them were horrid singers; I thought Noah was decent, and Karen Ziemba can definitely sing. For me, in Noah's case especially, the fact that his dancing was so amazing sort of overshadowed the fact that he wasn't the best singer I've heard.

Well, i can't say they are the worst in the sense that i absolutely hated them, but let's say they are my least favorites. All of them I saw in London though.

The Witches of Eastwick
Cats
Grease
Blood Brothers

Nancy made me hate the show. Without her it could have been passable. But she really could not sing and i had such a headache after seeing it.
You are right that without her it could be entertaining but it still made my list.

Flower Drum Song Revival.. this might only be the case since I saw it on the Friday before it closed.. and because I saw the understudies for Lea Salonga, Sandra Allen, and a few others..

To Dollypop

Sad to say, disagree with every show on your list

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 2/24/04 at 8:06pm

Dolly, though I do humbly disagree with a few of your picks, very funny - shall we call them rearrangements - of the names! Very clever and gave me a good laugh.

Posted: 2/24/04 at 8:07pm

Anytime, Anywhere:

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

In Special Circumstances:

Aida with a Popstar Invasion
Rent on its low-energy nights

Of course the worst show I have ever seen in my LIFE and gladly left at intermission was a community production of "A Ritual for Returning" in Colorado. If anyone has ever heard of or seen this show, what are your thoughts?
