Most of his standup is hysterical. But this show looked like a tacky Vegas cabaret. It was so cheesy.
And when he sang and talked politics i wanted to purge.
He is very anti gay. He is also pro BUSH.
My skin was crawling and I was so offended by his show.
Also his singing. DREADFUL. He made Harvey sound like one of the three tenors.
The man should stick to comedy. No singing please.

I wonder how well recieved his "Freshly Squeezed" will be. What were the LRO reviews like?

Well,
I don't intend to see it. I was really disgusted with LRO.
I just pray my editor does not make me review it.

Maybe I should keep my lips zipped as nothing as of yet has brought about a war but I was just wondering if my friend 'StateofJade' over there *in the corner hiding* said his answer for a rise from fellow posters re: Worst show you've seen....we shall see...


People like you are the reason I'm on medication.

Wonderful Town drove me nuts. Also, I greatly disliked The Producers the 2nd time around. (I was sick, and Gary Beach was out...AHH! He was who I loved the most in it.)

I really doubt they're that immature raggy q. We're here to put what we think is our worst show we've seen. Not come here and make comments to get people angry.

For me it's a tossup between "Mamma Mia" and "The Lion King." Actually, "Mamma Mia" wins, because I did enjoy parts of "The Lion King"; the opening number and Scar's scenes (all thanks to Patrick Page). Plus, it's a pretty show (great sets, costumes, puppets). "Mamma Mia" didn't even have *that* going for it.

I have to say Little Women (out of the 30-something shows I've seen on Broadway). I think I've been lucky in the shows that I've gotten to see.

Without a doubt... "Jerry Springer the Musical" in London.

The only show I have ever walked out of!!

got-a-light really? I loved that show!


"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell plus i proudly share the title of the shortest member over the age of 10 with wickedrentq!

I'd have to agree and say "Jerry Springer the OPERA". It was almost disturbing

The worst show I've ever seen was probably Hans Christian Andersen in SF (at A.C.T.).

On Broadway, Sweet Smell of Success, hands down.

^^ Honestly, it probably comes across better as a pure listening experience. Watching it all collide before your horrified eyes was another matter.

These are all tours.

Modernized "Jesus Christ Superstar."

Just... bad...

Mamma Mia!

Terrible voices. Terrible, bad. Some good lines, but bore.

Off-Broadway:

Puss-in-Boots.

The sub-tittle says it all:
"A Bad Musical with songs"

At least they were straight foward.

I walked out after Act 1.
