Worst show you saw last year?

Posted: 1/20/05 at 2:15pm

What s the worst thing you saw last year? And what is the shows fate now?

I saw "Ten Commandments" with Val Kilmer . It was hideous. The production was to tour and then open in NY. The whole thing has been called off.

Kiss it baby. Kiss it now!

Worse Show I saw last year was a propduction of this silly little Transie Show called...

Rudoplh the Red Hosed Reindeer.

Yes it was truly that stupid and silly and I just did not like it.

Honestly, the worst show I saw last year was Brooklyn. And since some people on the boards enjoyed it, I guess I got off pretty easy!

Bombay Dreams

It wasn't bad. It wasn't my favorite show but it was pretty good. It just happens to be the worst thing I saw last year. I didn't really see anything too bad!

If we're counting community theater, then its Once Upon A Mattress. But if we're not, thats going to be difficult since I only saw two shows last year on Broadway...so I'd say its a tossup between Phantom of the Opera and Wicked. And neither one was bad.

HROK?

People be heard at playwrights. I usually love the shows there but ugh this show was just boring! and the space aliens scenes laughable (and not in a good way).

i forgot the name but it was a two short plays with Issabella Rossolini. It closed and that is for the better!

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell plus i proudly share the title of the shortest member over the age of 10 with wickedrentq!

^^ Ick. She was the worst person in whole cast. Had no idea what kind of accent she thought she was doing. Not that it mattered. Maurice Hines had a spotlight on him every minute of the show, even during other people's numbers when he was doing nothing. Not to mention the fact that it looked like at least 3 different designers worked on the show.

Hideous.

Worst shows I saw --

"DRACULA" and "BROOKLYN", hands down

also.."The Elephant Vanishes" at Lincoln Center -- while the production was CLEARLY BRILLIANT and one of the most impressive visual experiences I have ever come across, I simply could not buy into it. It was a very unpleasant experience from the third row, and literally PHYSICALLY painful at the end.

It has to be Big River on tour. I liked what they were trying to do with it. But jeez, I've never felt so sleepy in a musical.

Did anybody see that off-broadway show, "Alice in Wonderland?!" I just remember reading broadway.com's review in January and it said, "It's still only January, but it's a safe bet that the winner of Worst Production of 2004 is now on stage at the Kirk Theatre on 42nd Street: Alice in Wonderland. In fact, I'd be willing to wager that there will never again be a worse show off-Broadway or on." I didn't see it, but it seems to me like that might have been the absolute worst show EVER.

I was going to buy a ticket to that and a friend who knows my taste warned me about Alice.
Heard it was a bit risque.

A Stoop on Orchard Street - I think it's still playing/touring

Dracula (Had no desire to see it, but my bro got me a free ticket, and I suffered through the horrid score. If it weren't for Des MacEnuff, I would have jumped onstage, taken the stake and stabbed myself in the heart.)
Movin' Out (Again, as I have posted many times in the past, I HATE Twyla Tharpe. I'm sorry - is that too strong of a word. Let me rephrase - I LOATHE Twyla. I DESPISE Twyla. Again - free ticket)
Take Me Out (Pointless. Waste of my time.)
The Kareoke Show (Was this even theatre? Talk about Horrendous)

"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive. "Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot." "No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one." Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

Although my beloved was excellent in it-well, as excellent as you can be in a show that bad-"Dracula" was quite awful.

But "Brooklyn" was worse.

Proving once againg that "Vagina" was a fluke, "The Good Body" was miserable.
