"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

I'll just say I know I'm in the minority for this one, but when I saw a current "critic's darling" show, I had a difficult time keeping my eyes open.

can't decide whether it was Titanic or Tom Stoppard's Arcadia at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago years ago.

I second the Civil War (or The Civil Bore to some...) and Pirates of Penzance -- and I'd have to say (unfortunately) The Pirate Queen

A mind-numbing off-off-Broadway production of "The Happiest Girl in the World" last November. Oy.

I saw BUSKER ALLEY/STAGEDOOR CHARLEY.. still have the magnet. I bought it during intermission to use to hit myself just to prove I was still alive...

...but truth be told...

THE DEAD bored me to tears. I pretended to be impressed because everyone I was with said they were... but I didn't really believe them.

Mamma Mia
Despite the music, I was miserable and bored out of my mind. My most disliked Broadway show.

Phantom of the Opera. I really didn't understand the story or what the character was saying. I was also tired that day, unfortunately.

I fell asleep for like....2 minutes in TARZAN. It's sad to see such a great ensemble of performers go to waste.

Little Women was definitely up there for me... although I also found myself really bored during Company, even though I usually like the show a lot. Maybe I was just really tired or something...
