1. Fosse
2. Phantom (Maybe I was too young, or maybe it was the horrible seats, but I didn't like it.)
3. Gypsy
4. Scarlet Pimpernell (It was great the first time, but the second time was a big dissapointment)

I'm trying to do this in broad categories, of which there may be more than five, unfortunately, and only include shows I've seen productions of:
Cats = least favorite huge hit megamusical
Here's Love! = worst show by an otherwise decent composer
South Pacific= classic that just bores me (Showboat runs a close 2nd)
Jekyll&Hyde/Scarlet Pimpernel = least favorite composer
Jesus Christ Superstar = least favorite show to listen to
Passion = least favorite Sondheim
Nunsense = least fave show everyone does because it's so easy to do badly
Menopause: The Musical = least favorite off-Broadway show

Mine:

1) Mamma Mia! (just blah)
2) Lion King (love the visuals, but little substance)
3) Beauty and the Beast (love the story, but feels like a show that belongs at Disneyland, not Broadway)
4) Bye Bye Birdie (cheesy)
5) Starlight Express (more cheese)

Mine:
Annie (loved it when i was younger, but being in it three times will kill it... actually being in it the first time killed it..)
Bye Bye Birdie (can not STAND the 'We Love You Conrad' song, or any other song in it..)
Oklahoma (ugh... it put me to sleep!)
and my # 1 most hated musical...
CATS. ugh shoot me now.

...Victoria Grant- how can you not like newsies? [it's my obsession... lol]

Keep in mind that I'm only 15 when reading this... I haven't seen everything.
(Not in order)
1)Dracula!
2)Rent - It seems as if everyone loves it, but it wasn't my favorite
3)Big River
4)Movin' Out
I have loved most of the other musicals that I have seen. I have seen a lot for my age, but I had criticizing, so I don't know about the other ones.

Raimiette, You hated Children of Eden? Wow that's one of my favorites.. I did it summer of 2003 and it's was so much fun and so powerful emotionally.. I know personal opinion and but what did you hate about it?

Posted: 11/3/04 at 8:08pm

Cats
Phantom
Les Miserables
Oklahoma
Into the Woods


how can you hate Movin' Out (just amazing) and Birdie (so cute!)?!?!

[K8eeyore]

Posted: 11/3/04 at 9:22pm

In no particular order:

The Sound of Music
Showboat (more b/c of flashbacks of doing a horrific community
theater production of it than anything else)
No, No Nanette
South Pacific

Can't think of a fifth one.

"Raimiette, You hated Children of Eden? Wow that's one of my favorites.. I did it summer of 2003 and it's was so much fun and so powerful emotionally.. I know personal opinion and but what did you hate about it?"

I didn't hate it but it's not one of my favorties. I didn't enjoy the sets and I thought the acting was pretty sub-par. I really only liked one song from it (Lost in the Wilderness).

It wasn't too bad but I put it on my least favorite list because I don't get to see many Broadway musicals (I live in Canada) so I have a generally small list to pick from. It was one of my least favorites from what I have seen.

Raimiette.. Understandable.. A poorly staged or acted show will ruin the best of them..

[DancerGirl16]

Posted: 11/4/04 at 12:52pm

Mine are:

1) Beehive (I never saw it on broadway but I saw a production of it that was dreadful like horrible!)
2) Phantom of the Opera (too long, it could be a half an hour long and still have the same plot and events sequence, I think it will make a better horror movie)
3) Mamma Mia (I didn't like it very much but I have a friend in it now so, I might be seeing it again but can't complain much lol)
4) The Producers (ok thats a surprise but its true I didn't love it)
5) The Beauty and the Beast (it was a good movie just stop it there)
