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.

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!

Dracula and Bklyn tie.

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.

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).

Let's see...was last year the year of the Maurice Hines "Guys & Dolls" tour?

Blech.

I saw that tour! It was ok I guess. I liked Adelaide.

^^ 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.

Dracula. Although I did not enjoy Brooke Tansley's "sobbing" deliverying in Beauty and the Beast, but Dracula is first. ha!

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)

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.
