Just the 5 musicals you don't like, wish would be thrown away and never be done again. Everyone's got their own opinion...

1) Anything Goes
2) Lil Abner
3) A Little Night Music
4) Adventures of Tom Sawyer
5) Annie Get Your Gun


And if she'll say, "My darling, I'm yours!" I'll throw away my striped tie and my best pressed tweed, all I really need is the girl...

1) Oklahoma
2) The Cocoanuts
3) A Little Night Music


That's really all I've got...it takes a LOT to get me to hate a musical...

A Little Night Music? It's your opinion, just a bit surprising.

1. Fame
2. Cats (at least the last touring company I saw- it was horrible).
3. Civil War
4.
5.
(There are others that I'm not a huge fan of, but I don't think they qualify for this list, so I'm leaving it at 3).

Ugh, not again with the cast recordings...

Seussical

That's all I can say for now, because I've liked all the other shows I've seen.

Hairpsray: BIG hatred show for me.
Grease: Just so pointless. I liked the movie though
Oklahoma: Great score, but that doesn't make up for the horrific book

All commercially packaged shows:

1. LES MIZ
2. CATS
3. FOOTLOOSE
4. SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER

Insofar as everyone else's lists, all I can say is, it depends on the production. I really like FINIAN'S RAINBOW and LIL ABNER, and I've seen embarrassingly bad productions of both. Some shows just get overdone, but that doesn't make the work itself bad.
