I strongly dislike West Side Story. What's wrong with me?
What musicals do you hate that others seem to love?

I know on the boards its a totally different story, but my friend thinks I'm crazy for not totally loving Spamalot.
I liked Brooklyn, unlike some people.

2. Great buckets of Spoffnor, they're going to sing!
3. "I love shrubs that are historical." -Johnny and The Sprites
4. "We're not singing it to you, we're singing it for us." -Rosario Dawson, about La Vie Boheme
5. "The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours." -The History Boys
6. "Pass the parcel. That's sometimes all you can do. Take it, feel it and pass it on. Not for me, not for you, but for someone, somewhere, one day. Pass it on, boys. That's the game I want you to learn. Pass it on." -The History Boys

I'm ... I'm not the only one who dislikes Hairspray? I loved the movie, but for some reason I just can't get into the musical.
... and I know I'll be dragged through the village and beaten for this, but... Camelot.
I'm a sick child. 
Edit: And I just remembered: Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. I should probably add that I haven't seen any of these shows, and these opinions are based purely on the cast recordings.

THE SOUND OF MUSIC. I NEVER cared for it!
And aside from a couple of songs, I always found SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE dull! (Don't hate me! I might come around to liking it!)

BoadwayBaby6, Steven Susskind told me that REDHEAD was his pick as the worst musical to win the Best Musical Tony, so you're not alone...although this was before THOROUGHLY MODERN MLLIE came out...
And I LOVE PASSION, ASPECTS OF LOVE and MILK AND HONEY! I also liked PIPE DREAM, SUBWAYS ARE FOR SLEEPING, and TENDERLOIN, so what do I know?
#16re: musicals only you seem to dislike
Posted: 6/30/05 at 10:29pmOh yeah, Sound of Music...it's getting a little annoying to me now..used to love it, now I've just seen it too many times to like it I guess.
