Back in the 80s at the York Theater..."Frankie!"
It was an atrocious re-telling of "Frankenstein" that starred Richard White and was the last work of Abe Burrows if I remember correctly.

Telethon!
I was sitting in the last row and half way through I turned around and almost the entire audience was gone!

I recall BOY MEETS BOY being pretty bad, though the idea was radical and important at the time. I suspect there were plenty of worse off-Broadway productions, but the mind protects us by forgetting them.

Some gawd-awful one man play from the early nineties (name escapes me) but the actor bent over and spread his cheeks to the audience and I sadly had to be in the front row and got quite a view.

"MOURNING BECOMES ELECTRA at the New Group a few years ago."
Yeah, this was pretty poisonous. Split at the first intermission, deeply embarassed for the cast.
And there's always FAME ON 42nd STREET -- a real low point.

I choose Pinter's ASHES TO ASHES. I'm sure there were (are) worse, but CHRIST ON A CRACKER!
It was the closest I've ever gotten to standing on my chair and screaming 'STOP! PLEASE STOP!!! I CAN'T FOR ANOTHER MINUTE!!!!!'
I'm sure Lindsay Duncan would have appreciated it.

Oh, I forgot CORIOLANUS in the Park back when Papp was experimenting with using "urban" actors speaking in their native dialects. Acts I-III were utterly incomprehensible except for Gloria Foster, who was regal, as always. I wouldn't know about Acts IV-V.

In the early 1990's I saw a musical called "Just a Night Out" performed Upstairs at the Village Gate. Absoluetly awful. I left at intermission. The venue was a bar/cabaret space, and they advertised an 8:30 show time. What that meant is that they had no plans to start a minute before 9 PM, and hoped to sell as much liquor as possible in that half hour period.
The show was falsely advertised as being produced by the negro Ensemble Company. Truth is, it was an independent production by someone who had once worked for NEC, and got them to loan him some costumes and props.

The Marvelous Wonderetts was crap. I still haven't forgiven my friend for dragging me to see that one.

Newsical...considering most of the cast of various "Forbidden Broadway" incarnations was in it, I expected at least some fun. Other than Christine Pedi's Liza, it was godawful.

There was a play at the Public Theater(?) in the early 1980s directed by Joanna Akalaitis(sp?) that was just a couple of flickering light bulbs onstage (and some prerecorded dialogue).

Without a doubt: MONEY TALKS, with the divine Dolores Gray looking lost, frustrated and on the verge of stopping the show to apologize to the audience.
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)
