What is the scariest show you've ever seen?

I would have to say Lestat, though Lennon and the Will Rogers Follies come close.

Seriously, Lestat frightened me with it's horrible songs and silly scenes (the boat!).

I didn't understand the purpose of Act II of the Will Rogers Follies - "Let's fly, Will" -- wish they flew away earlier...ok..I didn't really mean it!

Happy Halloween!!!

Raggedy Ann, as evidenced by the poor little kid behind me who was screaming in horror throughout Act I. I assume he and his mom left the theatre at intermission. Why anyone thought a Broadway musical version of Raggedy Ann that's too scary for kids would be a good idea is beyond me.

The Pillowman frightened me beyond words. There were some scenes that were downright scary, but it was also psychologically unsettling in the subject material. I remember being so shaken up at the end that I couldn't leave me seat for several minutes.

I'll second "Lestat". I was scared because someone put up a lot of money to put so much crap up on the stage. Elton should be forced to return every cent paid for his "best work ever". Truly a nightmare from start to finish. Wolf Killer!

Does anyone remember THE CRUCIFER OF BLOOD? It played on Broadway in 1978-1979. An amazing production that scared the wits out of the audience. Especially during the intense lightning storm when the audience was able to only see bits and pieces of the drama unfolding. I remember the audience screaming out loud at some points! John Wulp's scenery was brilliant. Sherlock Holmes was played by Paxton Whitehead and the cast also included a virtually unknown Glenn Close.

I was seriously chilled after I saw Sweeney Todd for the first time (it was the revival). My friends and I had taken a spontaneous day trip into the city, which is rare, and it was really sunny out, and we picked Sweeney without knowing what it was. It was fantastic beyond anything, but very chilling.

Also, the gunshots in Les Mis scared me the first (only) time I saw it, on Broadway a few years back.

I would probably have to say Wait Until Dark. I saw a really great production of it and the last sequence was VERY frightening. If acted and staged well it can be very scary.

I'll second The Pillowman. Scary, but great.
