The 39 Steps :9 It was very boring and the cast had almost no energy. Plus it was between that and Title of show but the other people I was with begged and pleaded to not see title of show. I REALLY want to see title of show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most recently GREASE!
When I lived in DC we were so excited to go see just about anything...so it's hard to compare. I didn't really care for "The Who's Tommy" back in the mid 1990's or for "42nd Street" when I saw it. But, they were the shows that came through DC at that time...so we looked forward to going to see them. "Hot Feet" however, was a different story. I really regretted buying 4 tickets to this.

I don't regret seeing any broadway or national touring shows.
Regional shows, yes, but those are usually free so that's not as bad.

Posted: 9/2/08 at 9:16pmThe most recent revival of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. Although I've grown to appreciate the show, at the time I didn't enjoy it very much, and I had a choice between that and Side Show, and Side Show is one of the shows that I most regret not seeing.

Posted: 9/2/08 at 9:38pmWhile I don't regret seeing them by any means, I don't have fond memories of Spring Awakening, A Catered Affair, Movin' Out, The Homecoming, and parts of The Apple Tree.

Posted: 9/2/08 at 9:45pmI didn't really like Wonderful Town..I never laughed when I was supposed to but laughed when things weren't supposed to be funny. Maybe the cast was bad, I'm not sure.
#15re: What show do you regret seeing the most?
Posted: 9/2/08 at 9:51pmOh yeah! I forgot "Little Women"- had to choose between this and "La Cage" to go see with my parents. Would have much rather seen La Cage in retrospect.. I thought I'd be uncomfortable seeing it with my father...boy was that dumb. Also had to choose one time bewteen "Grey Gardens" and "Company" and now wish I would have gotten to see "Company"

The Producers.
I loathed it and nearly fell asleep...which is something I cannot say for myself as an audience member in any other theater.

Posted: 9/2/08 at 10:12pmChitty Chitty Bang Bang was a bit silly for me, and A Chorus Line seemed amatuer.

Wow, I have been reading this board for a long time but have had problems getting signed in.
My answer on this thread is Sweeney Todd!
Sorry to all that love it but it just did not work for me and my friends.

Posted: 9/2/08 at 11:00pmThe last time I saw Rent and Spamalot, they were not in good shape, but I went for my boyfriend. I guess I regret seeing Spring Awakening the most. There was very little I liked about it and there were so many other shows I would have rather seen.

WICKED - a complete waste of time HORRIBLE score and garish sets.
LION KING
#22re: What show do you regret seeing the most?
Posted: 9/2/08 at 11:12pmThe recent Cat on a Hot Tin Roof revival is the only time I can recall being really MISERABLE watching a Broadway show.
#23re: What show do you regret seeing the most?
Posted: 9/2/08 at 11:16pmI regret seeing Lion King. I had such high hopes for this show, and aside from the beautiful costumes and the Swahili (and maybe it was Kenyan too) music I was thoroughly disappointed. What a shame. Maybe the quality used to be better, but it certainly wasn't worth $400 for 3 tickets in the orchestra.

I'm pretty sure this thread has been done before, but I'm too lazy to search. Anyway, I don't really regret seeing any shows, because it's fun to be able to say I saw the flops, and as for the shows I hate, there are always friends of mine who like them, so it's fun to be able to argue, having seen them myself.
Having said all of this, I could have done without wasting $50 on "Movin' Out".
