Just curious on what people think has to be the worst musical review ever produced?

Do you mean "worst musical revue" (as in show or production)
or
"worst musical review" (as in critic's assessment of a production?)

Phil - I was wondering the same thing.

If it's REVUE I would say the worst that I've seen was 'Here Lies Jenny' But most will disagree with me.

If it's REVIEW I think one from a Chicago production of 'The Wind in the Willows' where the title was "Not even the EPA could clean up the mess over at the ..... Theatre!"

I meant revue! Sorry!

I just saw Hunka Hunka Burning Love this year and I would agree with the critics:

The first one I thought of was "The Look of Love". You can't do a good revue when the songs are mediocre. Even the cast thought so.

They are all kind of lame. I hate when the songs are threaded together with acting. Like behind the scenes, or at a cafe. So boring. Just sing and shut up.
