The Band's Visit and Once make your top three?? I mean it's ok not to like them but wtf?

Also, yeah these "worst" "least" threads that have been popping up this month are getting tiring and are just plain mean spirited.

Seriously, what's the point? There's a thread right on the home page where everybody has been talking about their least favorite musicals. We need one specifically to s*** on shows within the last 7 years because... why?

I mean if we are including small regional indie musicals like BMC we can probably go on all night lol 

This thread is tiring, immediately, and dont you wonder if OP has seen either of those shows and is trying to stir something up, take it to twitter you'll do better there.

I agree that threads like this are irritating. I have no problem with people expressing negative opinions about shows/performers. I certainly do my fair share of that. But threads like these don't even invite discussion. It's just a barrage of isolated personal opinions. Just people taking every opportunity they can get to throw in their two cents about which shows they are smart or discerning enough to hate, especially if the shows are popular. 

It would even be better if the topic were "least successful" or "most widely hated." It would still be subjective, but at least we'd be weighing a variety of factors, and it could generate more debate than just "It was awful" followed by "I disagree."

I never even realized someone made 2010 into a musical?! You'd think they'd go 2001 rather than the sequel...

It's a play on the Kubrick film and its sequel.

Of the ones I've seen, I'm probably gonna have to say Finding Neverland. I caught the tour in Durham back in May, and while I found nothing terrible about it, just nothing remarkable about it either. I must've been the only person in the audience who did not clap once at all throughout the whole show.

Never made it to Broadway, but it was First Wives Club's Chicago tryout. 

 

On Broadway, it was Amazing Grace.

I was going to go with a re-envisioning of 1776, but I like your answer better.

In general I dislike threads that invite nothing but a list....but these disingenuous (I was wondering...) and negative spirited ones of late are just annoying. It's simply a "look at me" way to post.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Perhaps it might be more interesting to try to turn the thread into a discussion of why these shows failed, or what makes them "bad," rather than just kvetching about the existence of the thread?

To be fair.... Finding Neverland on Broadway was SO MUCH better than tour. And Broadway was worse than the original at the ART.

But many of the shows here DIDN'T fail.    And conversations go where conversations go.

There's more than one way to "fail." Financial return is only one way. If someone thought a show was poor, then it, technically, failed - for them.

But the more important point is that mere humorless bitching about the existence of a thread is a bore. Help it along. Make it entertaining - or at least interesting.

Sorry we didn't live up to your requirements....but go ahead and add to the kvetching....about the kvetching.

Apparently some individual's chronic frustrations need venting somewhere, and the BWW Message Boards make it serendipitously easy to do so.
