Posted: 12/23/04 at 4:16pmMine was, without a doubt, being "Adult Fern" in Charlotte's Web. I had no passion for the character at all, forgot a large majority of my lines, the script was phenomenally awful, and the cast...well, the cast was sub par to say the least.

Before I got my first lead role in a musical, I was cast as Cher in the Wiz at a community theatre thing..it was TERRIBLE
I hated my part
I hated the guy who played Sonny
and I tried to make the best of it, and I guess it went okay because lots of people told me I was hilarious..but I still hated the part.
Isn't that kind of desperate to make up a part? lol cuz I know Cher was NOT in The Wiz..was she? That's something from the movie I don't remember..

Rabbit in "Winnie the Pooh"
The director was good and the cast was good but the script just
STUNK!-No Plot, horrible lines, ok songs.
David walked into the valley
With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail

Posted: 12/23/04 at 4:43pmA bunch of random characters in this wretched play called "Story Theatre." I forget who wrote it, but his last name is Sills I believe. It's just so incredibly tacky and boring.

urgh munkustrap, the same kind of thing happened to me.
in the 5th and 6th grade, we couldn't particiapte in the school musicals so the director just thought up of a bunch of random sotries and songs that had the same theme
it sucked so much

Posted: 12/23/04 at 5:03pmTeching for Grease my senior year of High School. We had a very divided cast and crew. The actors were all the same clique that did everything together before the show. They didnt have their lines memorised by closing night and had a lot of problems with singing the music yet insulted any sets we built or ideas that were done (and done fairly well for high school standards) well before the show was to open. They did stunts like kicking parts of a set to break it then complained in dress rehearsal that we built shoddy things and anything that went wrong was our fault..Tech didnt even get invited to any parties afterwards so we had our own....Yeah I could go on for a few pages of everything that went wrong with that lol Definitely a worst.

Posted: 12/23/04 at 5:11pmYeah, it was pretty stressful, especially for a first time doing tech. But in spite of it all, I still wanna try doing tech again. Most people were put off after that little episode at the school heh.

Posted: 12/23/04 at 11:48pmRomeo Scragg/Clem/Croney #3 (yes, I somehow remembered all my roles) in Li'L Abner. God it was awful. Everything. The cast, the director, the set, the (amphi)theatre, the book. Eugh!
