the most boring show you've seen

Posted: 2/21/07 at 4:41pm

I would have to say the most boring show I've ever seen was the Civil War.

How about some of yours?
Can, can I have it?

The Amanda Peet/Patrick Wilson revival of Barefoot in the Park. Mind-numbing.

Aside from the music, "Hot Feet". A close second was "A Touch of the Poet".

The first act of the current West End production of 'Porgy And Bess'. Some character development DEFINITELY got lost there. The second act was far more entertaining though.

I'm pretty lucky actually, I don't remember being bored by very much at all. :3

Lavieboheme, bah at you! Lol...to each his/her own.

Hmmm...the most boring show I saw was probably Chicago. Also the Seussical tour (but I enjoyed a community theater production of it).

I saw this play called HAROUN AND THE SEA OF STORIES. I have never felt my life being wasted away like that before...

Dr. Doolittle. God, that was awful.

Haroun and the Sea of Stories? That's a book by Salman Rushdie, which I really enjoyed, but I can't imagine it being adapted for the stage.

I need to add:

Buskers/Busker Alley/Stagedoor Charlie. I have said before that Tommy Tune swund around that lamp post so many times, I was starting to get dizzy in my seat!

Really?! They weren't selling anything here in Denver. Or maybe they were, we ran out of the theatre for the bar so fast that I don't think we would have noticed a souvenier stand!

Richard Greenberg's A Naked Girl on the Appian Way. The play was less than two hours long, but I felt like I was at a screening of Shoah. A close second would probably Manhattan Theatre Club's lifeless revival of Absurd Person Singular.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

oh yes, we headed right for the merchandise stand..looking for a program actually. NONE. But the ususal shirts and caps were there. They had already changed the title to Buskers that night, so I grabbed the Stage Door Charley shirt for posterity.

I saw that damn show three times in SF. Different show each time, and none of the changes seemed to be helping.

Marcia Lewis as a busker was something to see, though.

The show also changed names in between the time it was first advertised here to the time it opened. It was my first time seeing him onstage (I actually met him yers ago) and I was really disappointed. But I went back and saw him again in Dolittle. No comment on that show...But suffice it to say, we ran out again after the show. I did stop briefly to look at some paintings Tune had onsale in the lobby though.

Probably the latest tour of Rent which I saw the end of last year. I went with three of my girlfriends and two of us wanted to leave at intermission and would have if the other two hadn't wanted to stay.

It's sad, because I saw it on Broadway several years ago and really enjoyed it.

THE APPLE TREE that's on Broadway right now
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

My group that night all agreed that Dolittle came off as a bad vanity project! Just like Buskers/Busker Alley/Stagedoor Charlie!
