Josefina Gabrielle in Oklahoma! Not the worst, but pretty bad. She was better in London.

Matthew Broderick in Odd Couple
Amanda Peet in Barefoot (not worst, just weakest I've seen in a long time)

I'd have to agree with CCR

CCR for sure...she was only on broadway because of being on Even Stevens...I couldn't believe they cast her, when they could have cast any of the million of unknowns who can really sing. Thank God for Ashley Brown!

Umm, I havn't seen many performances B'way, but I heard Mel.B in RENT was pretty bad.

I object to this thread completely. This is just for people to be spiteful and mean.

It was Off broadway, but Ally Sheedy in Hedwig was an abortion.

I agree with Kevinoes. There may be people on this board who enjoyed the performences that you are saying are "the worst" and they might be offended. But that's beside the point- its just mean-spirted.

There's a lot I am not certain of...

OKay...I'm a little off...CCR was on parade...okay She does sound really good. But for some reason I didn't get a feel for her as belle..but she does sound great actually. Interesting...I guess it always depends on the music, if it suits the voice or not!

I thought Joey Fatone as Mark in Rent was pretty bad.

Most of the "bad" performances you hear people talk about are usually the result of stunt casting.

Josefina Gabrielle was nowhere NEAR the worst. But I'll agree she was better in London.

I actually think Christy Carlson-Romano has a good voice.

Rue McClanahan in Wicked, most definitely.
