It amazes me that Lestat wasn’t so bad that it was good, but apparently it was just bad. I’ll never truly know I bought tickets for the week after it closed. I was ready to have a jolly good time

Oh, yeah I thought Color Purple was boring too. I was trying SO hard to like it cause I knew someone who was in it, but no.

Anyone who said "Caroline, Or Change" does not appreciate live theater.

A really bad high school production of Oklahoma tops the cake...

As thrilling as the simplistic set and wooden chairs were, I was close to snoring during "Sweeney Todd" during those moments sans factory whistles.

THE VIOLET HOUR was pretty agonizing, as was SEE WHAT I WANNA SEE and BERNARDA ALBA.

Julius Ceasar was dreadful. Great cast... but I had a really hard time making it through that one.

Ditto on not understanding why people said CAROLINE OR CHANGE. It was brilliant.

I like DROWSY, but I can understand why one can find it boring. But CAROLINE? So that I can sleep tonight, I'm just going to assume that anyone who said that show is under 15 years of age.

"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."

1776- the first Broadway play that I left during intermission, tops my list. Les Miz, Mamma Mia, Rent, and Chicago only when Melanie Griffith was in it- killed the show!!!! The original cast is the only cast that rocked!!!! Melanie can't shine Ann Reinking boots!!!

Bring in the Noise, Bring in The Funk, The Sunshine Boys, The Little Foxes, The Invention Of Love.

Granted I saw all these from 11-14 years old. I'm sure my feelings on at least some of them would be different now (well ok, maybe only the latter two)

Just saw Dying City tonight. I think we have a new winner. To borrow a line from Stagegrrrl, I was praying for my own death by the halfway point.

"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

Kiss Me Kate (only show i've ever left at intermission), Chicago (just a bad show.. great movie and overall story i guess, bad stage show), Nine Armenians (fell asleep), Sugar (fell asleep)..

Foster-

I would usually never tell someone to abandon their tickets when they've already paid for them, but I would seriously consider you to do so in this case. This show is quite possibly the most boring, varied, solipsistic, overacted mess I've ever seen.
