Posted: 9/3/08 at 1:43pmI don't know if it is so much "regret" but I would have to say "Hot Feet". I am a HUGE Earth, Wind & Fire fan. I have seen the original group in concert several times and own all of their music. So I had to see the show. I was already afriad going in knowing who wrote and choreographed the show. But I went. And I have to say, it was the worst show I have seen on Broadway. What a hot mess.

Posted: 9/3/08 at 1:52pmMost shows I don't regret seeing. Even if I didn't enjoy it, I'm usually glad I saw it and appreciated SOMETHING about it. However, I HATED "Dancing at Lugnasa" -- I remember thinking, "It won the Tony, it HAS to get better!" BLAH!

On Broadway - Miss Saigon. Many in the audience actually laughed at the critical moment, and I thought, "Thank God! Now, I can leave this hell hole." It was a painful and quite horrible performance.
Touring - Fame: The Musical. It was, without a doubt, the worst professional production I've ever witnessed in over 30 years of theater going.

Mary Poppins...boring!
November....just not funny!
Festen....a real bomb!
A Chorus Line...current production, I paid top dollar but should have just kept my memories of the original, which I saw as a teenager with Donna McKechnie!
Top Girls...so tedious, even after I studied for it!
Some Americans Abroad...Second Stage should do better than this!

I honestly don't regret seeing anything on Broadway. Sure, there are things that I don't like but I do regret seeing them. I like being able to say that I saw particular shows just for the sake of being able to say that I saw them.
I would have to say that my only regret in the theatre is walking out of the revival of Company at intermission because I was very sick and it was a stupid move of me to try to leave the house that day. And never getting around to go seeing it before it closes.
I regret being in the mezz for Sweeney Tood the day after I found out I needed glasses and wasn't able to see a thing. Got a major headache just trying to look at the actors and the stage. Never got around to going back before it closed.
However I do not regreat seeing shows like I said before.

You look absolutely terrific, honestly.

Posted: 9/3/08 at 9:38pmNothing that I've seen on Broadway that I regret EVER seeing, but I didn't really need to see "Footloose" and "Grease" both twice.

Well, I didn't need to see Dirty Rotten Scoundrels a second time.
But other than that, every show I've seen I've seen because I had a desire to do so. There were some bad ones (i.e. Threepenny Opera revival, Les Liasions Dangerouses revival, The Woman in White, et al) but I don't regret seeing them.

Baz Luhrmann's LA BOHEME.
What a waste of 3 hours and a hundred bucks.
Loved Cyndi Lauper but THREEPENNY OPERA robbed me, too.
Foolish boy.

Posted: 9/4/08 at 3:51amAltar Boyz. I didn't think sitting in a theatre could be that painful. My brain must have died in the second minute of the show though..

Posted: 9/4/08 at 8:59amI didn't care for "By Jeeves" and "Grease", but I never regret seeing any show because my personal motto is: "A Bad Day on Broadway is better than a Good Day at Home!"
#68re: What show do you regret seeing the most?
Posted: 9/4/08 at 9:49am
See, you'd think a bad day in the West End is better than a good day at home, and I am the sort of person to treat each experience as having some value, even if the value is just "well, I'm glad I'll never see anything that bad again!". But 'Absurd Person Singular' was just so terrible that I had to rethink my whole "regret nothing with regards to seeing shows" outlook. So in that regard, I suppose it did have a little value there...

Posted: 9/4/08 at 10:02amThe Lion King tour. I wanted to leave at intermission, but I was with people.
Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!

With Phylicia Rashad and Terrence Howard? I thought this was wonderful! It was like watching a class on acting it was so well done!
I almost don't know how to respond to that, I found it so horrible. IMO, it was completely misdirected to be some sort of comedy. The only bearable aspect I found was Anika Noni Rose. Trust me, I was thoroughly horrified that such a great cast had been directed so badly when they should have been able to make such an amazing production.

Posted: 9/4/08 at 12:37pmI regret seeing the recent Oklahoma revival, but mainly for the reason that I was given the choice of seeing that or the original cast of Thoroughly Modern Millie.

Little Mermaid....i loved the movie so much when I was a kid, and I still do, but the show was just painful.
And Spamalot, to an extent. I was so excited to see it, heard so many great things, and waited nearly 2 years after opening, so I guess I was little too over-hyped. When I finally saw it, I was extremely underwhelmed.

Posted: 9/4/08 at 6:49pmAs others have said, I think "regret" might be too strong of a word...but I do recall doing some spring cleaning a while ago and finding a Playbill for "Aspects of Love", and my first thought was "My God, I paid money to see that?"
