Is there a musical you DON'T like? The only show I've seen that I didn't like was Little Mermaid.
If so, which one? Why? I hated Little Mermaid because I thought too much of it was just...goofy. I never once cared about the characters because I had the feeling that the people involved whether they were the actors or the writes or directors just didn't really care about the story. Yeah, it's based on a movie intended for a young audience, but that doesn't mean it has to be dumbed down even more than the movie was! Everything looked cheap as well. And Positoovity made me want to stab at my own ear drums with a pair of knitting needles.
