Passing Strange
Spring Awakening
Spelling Bee

1) Gigi (the only musical I would never, ever sit through again!)
2) Mamma Mia
3) Phantom
4) Working

I will give my top two that I happened to see this year, both for the very first time and it will be very last time as well. They would be:
1) Ring of Fire
2) CATS

I'm still dumbfounded at how CATS ran as long as it did. I wasn't expecting a whole lot from it but I thought it would be somewhat decent...NOPE! I couldn't wait for it to end.
And I won't even get started on Ring of Fire

I would have to say my least favorite musical, as a whole, would be Titanic. The book was just lousy and never focused on any character long enough for me to give a damn. The score is beautiful though.
My least favorite production I have ever seen is the most recent national tour of Sweeney Todd. If it weren't for Judy Kaye and the kid playing Toby, I would have walked out at intermission.

I forgot about Titanic. While it isn't my least favorite, it is certainly the most disappointing I have ever seen.

oof.

GOOD VIBRATIONS - the horror, the horror.

RING OF FIRE - for pure torture, still the most excruciating Broadway experience I've had. So bad it was just really awful.

NEXT TO NORMAL, at least in the incarnation at Second Stage, I understand some DRASTICALLY needed changes have been made.

NEVER GONNA DANCE - whoa.

PASSING STRANGE - I've posted on this elsewhere.

GREY GARDENS - two very good performances managed to pull the wool over the eyes of almost the entire planet, making them ignore the fact that this is an extremely drab little show based on an endlessly fascinating and disturbing film.

Think the name of it was Grand Hotel, but it was with Tommy Tune and it was BORING beyond belief!

Add me to the TARZAN list. Worst show I've ever seen.
