"What's your favorite show?" -- what answer would be the biggest turnoff?

Posted: 1/22/08 at 2:20pm

You're at a bar or some social situation and meet someone you find attractive. You find out this person likes Broadway, so you ask them what their favorite musical on Broadway is right now. What answer could they give that would turn you off the most?

I'm not saying you should ultimately judge someone based on one preference, but I think a person's favorite show could tell you a lot about a person, like their sense of humor, their taste in music, whether they want to be deeply moved or mindlessly entertained, etc.

So, when you ask the question, what response do you least want to hear? Is this your least favorite show? Would you stop talking to them as a result?

Alternatively, what show would you most want to hear in your response? Is this also your favorite show?

Even though CATS is not on Broadway now, my friend who is a concierge says he is still getting request for tickets.

i'd beat to death anyone who asked me that question if i thought they ascribed any sincere relevance to the answer. it would be necessary if for no other reason than to protect the gene pool from any accidental spillage of...that.

It's horrible and shallow of me, but probably Wicked.

Dig a little deeper. There ARE better shows out there! It's not even my least favorite, but I feel like it's sort of an easy way out.

Pianist, Legally Blonde is listed as one of your favs on your profile, yet it's a turn off for you?

Saying it's your favorite show, yes. As in #1.

"Anyone asks me that question on a first date and I DTMFA."

So you don't like people who care about your interests and what you like, in hopes to find something you mutually enjoy? Hmm... weird. Remind me not to go out with you.

As for mine, I'd say Mamma Mia or Hairspray. Mamma Mia b/c I can't stand jukebox musicals and won't really respect someone's tastes if they find that to be the pinnacle of theater. Hairspray because it's painfully corny, has a plot line that tries to hard to be moral and is unbelievably unrealistic although seems to think it's not; and it just plays on the emotions of every gullible ugly girl who thinks shaking her bon bon will get her on a TV show and get her crush to like her.

Kicky, I don't think you'd have to worry about dating me. From what I've seen you wouldn't even be allowed to get in line.

Cats is the obvious choice. I don't think I could stay in love with anybody who really loved Wicked, either.

Cliche, I know, but those would be the top two.

is this like the callout for all of the snobby broadway enthusiasts that think they are above others because they have "better" tastes in broadway shows?

kill me.

For me it's not about "better"; it's about compatibility. If she's going to want to see Spring Awakening or The Seafarer, those aren't going to be very fun nights.

However, if she says she's seen them, she liked them, but she doesn't really feel the need to see them again, there's a possibility.

There are people who think "Rent" is God's gift to the world, and to those people I say, see more Broadway.
