Which Show Do You Remember Least?

After so many years of theatre going, it's inevitable that there are some shows which will slip through the mental cracks. So which shows have you seen that you remember nothing or very little of? For me it's definitely the 2012 revival of Streetcar. I know I was in the front row; I remember Nicole Ari Parker's delivery of the line, "Did he KILL her?" but other than that, complete blank!

A Bronx Tale for sure. I literally remember nothing because it was THAT forgettable.

I don't remember

I least remember a Mark Taper show in LA, a musical review with Carol Burnett, Bronson Pinchot, Susan Egan, and John Barrowman.

It was 1998, a Sondheim songfest "Putting It Together".

I had an awful cold and runny nose but did not want to miss the performance.

Allegiance.

A friend and I won lotto tickets for a matinee when it was in previews. And we were amazed at how banal the show was when it was drawing from such rich/dark/important historical events.

I left the theatre, got some pizza, and decided to play the Hamilton lotto.
Won a ticket with the full OBC.
So Hamilton kinda washed the taste of Allegiance out.

All I remember about Allegiance is thinking,
"this is such a cheery number about baseball considering they're in a concentration camp..."

I was thinking about it, but then I forgot it. Just couldn't remember it.

Bend it Like Beckham on West End. I don't remember it being awful, but forgettable and long for what it was. I remember the themed drinks they sold in the lobby more than the show itself.

Merlin. In fact, I often get it confused in my memory with Goodtime Charley.

Vieux Carre. Possibly because fell asleep during it.

Granted I didn't stay for Act 2 because it was just so deadly dull, but I have only the vaguest memories of Breakfast at Tiffany's. The one image that sort of sticks in my head is Emilia Clarke playing a ukulele on a fire escape?

I have a slightly weird one:

The recent revival of Skylight. Why is that weird, you might ask? Because I actually liked the show. I thought it was very engaging, I thought the performances were excellent, and I was pleased when it won the Tony for best revival.

I remember what the set looked like, and I remember that she cooked live onstage. But I literally cannot recall a single thing about the actual content of the script.

Metamorphosis, 1989. I remember Mikhail Baryshnikov hanging upside-down but that’s about it.

I was 13 when I saw Andrew Lloyd Webber's Bombay Dreams on Broadway and I honestly can't remember the plot of that show. I remember the song "Shakalaka Baby" and still get it stuck in my head, along with "How Many Stars", and, I do recall some other tunes because they were rip-offs of real Bollywood songs. My best friend growing up was Indian, so, I watched a lot of Bollywood. So, I still recall a lot of the music because it was sampled from real Bollywood songs, but... I can't for the life of me remember the plot.
