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)

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)

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.

"Let the little girl go, and that poor little dog? Dodo." That's my favorite line in the whole show (Wicked). My next favorite line is "Oh! It seems the artichoke is steamed."

The Sound of Music

theater production of it than anything else)

South Pacific

Can't think of a fifth one.

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..

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)
