I have unfond memories of 'Kismet', the only show I ever walked out on. I can't say I enjoy 'Cats' or 'Annie' in the least. I'm still working on 'Kiss Of The Spider Woman', which I don't *hate*, I just... can't convince myself to click. :/

PASSING STRANGE

I hated every single moment of this headache inducing piece of garbage. It's total filth! Not a single redeemable moment - yet others puzzlingly defend it and love it - some people don't look at the content of shows at all. It was the single biggest headache i've ever experienced in my whole entire life! Just dreadful!

No contest here for me -- Wicked, which I thought was the biggest piece of over-hyped crap that ever trod the boards. I'd sit through Starmites ten times over before going near that stupid show about the witches.

From shows I've seen live:
They're Playing Our Song

Of the big name standards, my least favorite:
Camelot (I gave it another shot with the recent national tour, still sat bored waiting to hear one great song)

I can't imagine sitting through a few of the shows I have on CD.

you hate A Chorus Line?!?! what show is your FAVORITE. i am curious.


The reason I hate ACL is because it is one of the most manipulative pieces of theatre out there, but that’s another thread. On my favorite list…my top 5 would be(in no real order) Assassins, Elisabeth, Starmania, Hair, and even though I KNOW it’s a bad show Starlight Express

Probably AIDA.

"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

This is difficult for me, because I always try to find the best aspects of every show I see, but since you are asking for my least favorite, I will have to say The Lion King. I liked a few songs and moments but it just doesn't measure up to some of the other amazing shows that I have seen in my day.

Thou Shalt Not

re: What is your LEAST favorite musical ever?#63

This is tough. I could go with a bad regional show like Blame it on the Movies (which is truly the worst musical I've ever seen), or a bad Broadway/West End show that had little-to-no redeeming qualities such as Thou Shalt Not or Notre Dame de Paris (predictable), but there is one show that is actually a musical theatre standard that I have tried to like, but have never been able to enjoy:

Annie Get Your Gun

I almost said Follies, which is a close second, but the score for Follies contains more songs I enjoy.

It's got to be a tie between the revival of Les Miserables (having seen almost the entire original cast at the Broadway, the revival looked like bad community theatre to me) and Cry-Baby. I left the first at intermission to preserve the memories I had of the great show I'd seen. I stayed for the second for the trainwreck factor...I couldn't stop watching.

For me? Grease. and Cats. Ugh.

"Do Black Patent Shoes Really Reflect Up?" reaches a level of dreadful I'd never hope to witness again in a theater, with "Mad Bomber" being, arguably, the worst song ever composed by any human being ever.

Except the score for Seussical is quite good. The audience adored the show when I saw it on Broadway. The tour was awful, however.
