Just wondering everyone's opinions on what they believe to be the worst musical of all time. (Note key word "Worst" not least "favorite.") For example, Wicked is my least favorite musical because of how overblown it is, but I know it's not the worst Musical of time, it still is a good musical. My opinion: Footloose

I've heard the cast recording for Let My People Come.
Some of the songs are campy and actually quite humorous, but my god some of them are.....well they need to be heard to be believed.
I can't even type the names of some of the songs, but "C***(rhymes with some) in My Mouth" sounds like it's straight out of a 70s porn. Musically and lyrically.
And "Dirty Words" is an absolute standout in its awfulness.
I enjoyed First Date.
I did not enjoy: BKLYN
It's not the worst musical of all time though. I'll have to give that some thought.
I can't speak to the worst musical of all time, but the worst musical I've ever seen was Good Vibrations which was cringe worthy from beginning to end.

CLEAVAGE: A New Musical... Close to Where the Heart Is
1982. Unfortunately, my friends at Theatre Now were general managing, so I had to stay for Act II. The show had been a hit in New Orleans and everyone else involved came North with the production. If IBDB is any indication, they were not invited to stay.
(Exception: Theatre Now hired the great Arlene Grayson to rearrange the chairs on the Titanic.)
