Worst show to hit Broadway..... — Page 2

I know. They reworked it on the road, which included the name change.

It's not a completely different sequel... right?

(Tell me they didn't write TWO sequels to "Annie!")

EDIT: When it played L.A. it was a BIG show (as far as scale). Nothing that would fit in any Off-Broadway theatre I know of. They must have scaled it back quite a bit for NY.

One of Dorothy Loudon's songs was called "You! You! You!" and the lyric was "You you, you could be Annie too" (Annie 2...get it?) JUST AWFUL!

I think it was reworked into a completely different show by the time it got to New York.

annie 2 mhr never made it to new york

it was shipped to goodspeed's norma terris theatre and called annie2 then went out on the road and became annie warbucks which later moved to OFF broadway

annie warbucks was never on broadway it lost some backing on the road

the song you might be thinking of is :the other woman:

and mine

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
i thought dracula was appalling

I think the worst show to hit Broadway was "Oh, Calcutta" but my least favorite and most hated is definitely "Cats". I think it marks the point in which musical theatre as an art form started to collapse.

I have a long rant/theory on why I saw this about "Cats", if you REALLY want to hear it, PM i don't feel like going into it right now.

In My Life was the worst.

Lestat...it could have been good..but it didn't really..work.
Brooklyn...'nuff said.
Footloose, grease, and fame. Just...shut up. Thank you.
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. I just don't see the appeal in this show. It's boring, the music is annoying...

Hah! Keaton, I'm sorry, it was just such a joke to me. I think the idea is fantastic, but it just SO was not what I imagined it should be. XD

I like the music from Annie 2: MHR better than Annie Warbucks (I think half the score was re-written to form Annie Warbucks) Grace has a very pretty (if usual) song called "He Doesn't Know I'm Alive". Too bad it never made it anywhere.

Wicked
Lestat
In My Life

In that order.

fame and footloose or sooooo not bad shows there a lot of fun(well the uk productions are granted the broadway production of footloose was flat but here in the uk its an amazing production and i should know ...)they just arent for musical snobs more for people who just wanna let there hair down and have fun.

carrie doesnt even come close to been the worst show it has some bloody good stuff in it

annie 2 was awfull as was bring back birdie
dracula wassnt great but it wassnt awfull
lestat was bland but by no means the worst show

legs diamond was awfull REALLY AWFULL
the musical version of breakfast at tiffs also stank
the many hair rip offs what followed hairs success also stank
seven brides for seven brothers was lame
kelly was sleep inducing
1600 pens ave was also dull

then they are shows like dance of the vampires that was so bad that they were good(so much fun)
lennon was naff painfull you couldnt stop watching(like watching a car crash)
good vibrations was a fun night out but had no story at all

but my worst(even though its a hit) is mama mia arrrrrrrrgh make it stop

I now want The Black Rider to open on Broadway just so there is a clear answer to this thread.

I don't know anyone who actually saw Bobbi Boland since it closed in previews, but isn't that considered one of the worst shows ever?

Taboo has to get some votes. What a turkey.

West Side Story?

Haha no just kidding...how about THE FROGS? Sondheim thinks BOUNCE is bad...sheesh.

Taboo was a great show before it was reworked for american audiences
