Your Most Hated Musical

I find it hilarious that someone would mention NEXT TO NORMAL, GREY GARDENS *AND* CAROLINE, OR CHANGE as their most hated musicals IN THE SAME POST, lol.
Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

Crazy I know, but we try really hard to avoid shows generally thought of as stinkers.

To restrict my list to WELL-regarded shows we have loathed, I submit:

Mama Mia
Mary Poppins
The Scarlet Pimpernel
Avenue Q
Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson
The Glorious Ones (poor Flaherty & Ahrens)
Curtains
Jerry Springer: the Opera

and most loathed of all, Book of Mormon. (Let the brickbats begin.)

Your Most Hated Musical

Phantom Of The Opera (If you want a good musical based off the novel than check out Maury Yeston's "Phantom")


Honestly, I can't find myself hating any other musicals. I just love them all, with the exception of POTO.

You are all terrible people.
#141

Your Most Hated Musical

Cats (zero drama, nonsensical plot, but then again it's based on poems to child), Rent (it's unfinished and has terrible music + lyrics save for Seasons of Love), Sunday in the Park with George (pseudo-intellectualism at its worst). World would be a better place if these three were never mounted again.
#142

Your Most Hated Musical

The only musical I can think of that I truly can't stand is Cats. There are other shows I'm not crazy about, but Cats is the only one I'd put entirely in the "hate" category. I find the music repetitive and grating, the plot pointless, and the characters either annoying or boring.
#143

Your Most Hated Musical

I can pretty much tolerate if not enjoy about anything with great singing and or dancing. The only musical I've ever seen that I hated was on film...Carousel. I was super bored through the whole thing but kept telling myself, I better give it a chance and finish it. I was relieved to be so close to the end but then the end just pissed me off! I was bored during Cats, Camelot, and Young Frankenstein but I really hated Carousel.

Your Most Hated Musical

HOT FEET made IN MY LIFE and CATS (which I both hated) seem like masterpieces.
#145

Your Most Hated Musical

@Sondheimfan, not to pick on you out of all the hate-targets above, but I'm REALLY curious to know which productions of A CHORUS LINE and ONCE ON THIS ISLAND you saw that inspire such derision. Sure, they both have slight weaknesses here and there, but the kinetic genius in both of them burns through like a bright blowtorch for me.

Sooner
Dont do it. I thought I would see it again after a few years thinking I was more mellow or more sophisticated. I saw it again and hated it more and hated myself as well for being so stupid as to go back! Seeing Cats again engenders self-loathing.

#147

Your Most Hated Musical

I don't like
Cats

Joseph and the not-so-Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

Oklahoma (good score, but it bores me to tears and do we really need that damn ballet in the middle that rehashes everything we've already seen?)

Phantom of the Opera is mediocre at best and is only good for some spectacle and a few good songs

Wicked is merely decent. I don't get all the hype. Don't get the hate, but don't get the hype either

Act II of Sunday in the Park With George does nothing for me, but the first act is good.

I don't know if I've ever seen one that I truly hate with a passion. Certainly, I've seen productions of shows that I hated, but not the material itself.

Your Most Hated Musical

Undeniably The Lion King - it was an overrated and excruciating experience and failed to hold the attention of the kids, who ended up crawling around on the floor and under the seats babbling away.

Followed closely by Doyle's 2 cent production of Sweeney Todd, which I stand by was a desecration of a great legendary show. That people actually raved about his supposed marvel of "minimalism" that ended up making a full price Broadway show look like something put on in the local high school gymnasium only proves my Granny's old adage: "If enough critics tell the general public that poop on a stick is delicious, there will be an audience to wolf it down."

Hated vs. Worst / Adams Family-Dance of the Vampires

Your Most Hated Musical

I usually will stay through the whole show even if it is not my favorite. I do it because I find it disrespectful to the actors and really, I paid money for the tickets, I am going to stay. THAT being said, I have only really "hated" one show. Like to the point where even the actors pissed me off. COPACABANA. I saw it at Hershey and I swear I wanted Rico to just mow them all down and be done with the show.
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."
