what is the most overrated musical of all time — Page 8

The Producers is still my top answer, but Dear Evan Hansen has edged out Spring Awakening as runner-up.

The Lion King. It was beautiful during the Lebo M production numbers but, for me, fell flat outside of that.

Runner up would be Hamilton for me. Especially for the choreography. I found it repetitive and distracting. I enjoyed a lot of the music but overall it didn't blow me away. JMO

I’m still recovering from “Sound of Music” having been listed. It doesn’t appeal to everyone’s taste, but that’s beyond my reach.

Be More Chill is an overrated musical that had like a five day run at some random theatre in New Jersey but somehow became popular. It's really annoying because teenagers are acting like it's some Broadway musical and another regional theatre got the rights to it and is doing it and they're acting like it's a "revival" and people are buying tickets to go see it, even though it's at some random small theatre.

I’ve become to think Hamilton is overrated. Loved it the first time I saw it. Now I can’t even stand listening to the album.

On Broadway now? I have no idea why Kinky Boots has been running for as long as it has been. I guess it's the drag queens. It's a boring story about a shoe factory... but there's drag queens, so "Oh! What fun!" It also has AWFUL lyrics (especially compared to Matilda, which it beat for best score).

Phantom is good, but 30 years? Nothing deserves that.

Also not a huge fan of Miss Saigon. That show is beloved by many and it's just SO poorly written and ridiculous. I think the review round-up this time was pretty on par for what I think of the show. Eva Noblezada is great, and basically the only reason to see the show this time around.

Of all time? Guys and Dolls. Why do people love Guys and Dolls? I just don't understand.

All the reviews were pretty great. Music, story, show, cast were all praised.

The only negative things were from people who didn't like the chosen subject of the show, for example that Kim happens to work as a bar-girl, they basically wanted to deny these people existed, or would rather see a story about something else, or they complained about certain standpoints of characters, for example that Chris sees himself "doing good", etc, which is all part of the struggle, confrontation, confusion and reality of the situation, time and war. Some reviews even said that America came across as the winner, haha, which is silly of course. I've never taken these complaints seriously as they are clearly not about the show, but about people's prejudice.

Also, not only Eva was praised, but also for example Jon Jon Briones.

I'm pretty sure the reviews this time around were mixed-to-negative.

Natasha, Pierre, & The Great Comet of 1812......I will now get attacked by the stans.

I am pretty sure this thread is about highly praised shows people don't think deserve the praise, what are you going on about?

I have to go with the two big ones, Carousel and Hamilton. They pretty much define "overrated musical."

Come From Away. It's a uplifting little musical in which we discover that people are nice, but musically and dramatically it doesn't hold a candle to the other original musicals this year IMO.
