2) The Cocoanuts

A Little Night Music? It's your opinion, just a bit surprising.

1. Fame
2. Cats (at least the last touring company I saw- it was horrible).
3. Civil War
4.
5.
(There are others that I'm not a huge fan of, but I don't think they qualify for this list, so I'm leaving it at 3).

Ugh, not again with the cast recordings...

Seussical

That's all I can say for now, because I've liked all the other shows I've seen.

The Music Man - being in it made me hate it

Rent - sorry, I know everyone and their mother loves it, but it really bothers me.

thats all I can think of...I'm not that fond of ALW musicals as a whole....

All commercially packaged shows:

1. LES MIZ
2. CATS
3. FOOTLOOSE
4. SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER

Insofar as everyone else's lists, all I can say is, it depends on the production. I really like FINIAN'S RAINBOW and LIL ABNER, and I've seen embarrassingly bad productions of both. Some shows just get overdone, but that doesn't make the work itself bad.

1) State Fair
2) Joseph and the Amazing Technicolored Dreamcoat
3) Annie Get Your Gun
4) Hello Dolly
5) Annie
