Re 1776
It is an unconventional score with no stand out songs. All the songs are plot driven. If you take it in that context, the score fits the show perfectly

Oh god, "Big Dog" from The Color Purple. Ugh.
Not a big fan of "A Sentimental Man".
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Posted: 5/6/07 at 1:07pmI'm going to have to agree with Little Lamb. Any of the Wizard's songs from Wicked are bad.

I can't believe most of the ones you all listed as worst EVER. Come on, you really gotta consider all the terrible ones throughout the course of Broadway.
One of them, however has GOT to be "Think of Meryl Streep" from Fame: The Musical. And I mean EVER.
The person who put who do you love i hope makes me laugh. I recently played that show, and the song really did bite...it was really fun to play though, but I guess I see your point.
"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli

Posted: 5/6/07 at 2:20pmGranted I haven't heard every musical OCR, but I hate all the music in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

Aw, am I the only one who likes Little Lamb?
But I hate Something Bad.
One time, Patti LuPone punched me in the face...
It was awesome. - theaterkid1015

When Mabel Comes In The Room. As the ghosts of Dolly and Mame hover, air is continually pumped into a flat tire containing a gaping hole.
The saving grace was the balloon handed to Mabel as she stepped on a crane as it miraculously lifted her in the air.
But that was great staging in a wooden song. And the song was duly pulled apart by most of the critics when it opened.
