Posted: 7/1/05 at 1:40amChicago... *hides*... I dunno... the only song i really like out of it is "All That Jazz" (only when Bebe sings it), and what I have heard of Bat Boy i can't say i enjoyed either.
Love,

Phantom
Spamalot
The Music Man
Ick.
The Music Man was fun to be in (I was Ewart Dunlop, had a blast), but I don't enjoy the show itself.

Question: Will Esparza win for The Homecoming?

I'm having trouble getting into Dreamgirls. I've only just had the CD a couple of months, but I just can't seem to get completely into it.
I also really don't like The Sound of Music on stage very much.
#59re: musicals only you seem to dislike
Posted: 7/1/05 at 2:23amThe Lion King + Cats. Erghhhno. *tears out hair*

Posted: 7/1/05 at 3:09amI don't hate WSS, but I prefer not to watch it. Ditto on Rent, was pissed that Daphne was revived.

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat
Sound of Music
On the RENT thing, remember that it really wasn't "finished" as Jonathon Larson died too soon. But I don't much care for the way they ended it either, even though I am still a HUGE renthead.

Rent. The only part I like is "La Vie Boheme."
I'm not a huge fan of most Andrew Lloyd Weber stuff, either. It all seems too... superficial or something. I can't quite think of the word.
But the secret ingredient is love. Dammit.

Beauty and the Beast : I love some of the songs but the staging was so slow.
The Lion King : Boring
Mary Poppins : Nice sets but long and Laura M. Kelly was not up to it.
Jesus Christ Superstar.
In my heart, I found the answered dream,
and in my soul I found the song, and in my friends
I found the magic, the love,
the moon up above- they were mine, all mine, all along..!

Posted: 7/1/05 at 6:57amActually Rent was comletely finished when Jonathan died. In fact it was said by one of his friends that Jonathan told him the day before he died that there was only one line of dialogue in the show that he wanted to change. Certainly nothing to the extent of reworking the ending. That said Rent is a wonderful show I just feel it is an adult show for all but ten minutes and then we are all somewhat patronized. (I think her coming back works just not as well as if she just died. If taken as a metaphor it is easier to stomach, but that is a little bit of a stretch).

The Producers - this beat The Full Monty for Best Score??
Mille
Rent - probably the fault of bad productions
Most Rogers and Hammerstein - I've seen productions of most of their shows, and not one has ever made me want to see them again.

Avenue Q and Spamalot.
I can take stupid or crude humor....but only to a certain point. These two cross the line -- Q of crudeness and Spam of stupidity.
And RENT, which I have yet to reeeeeeeeally see, just doesn't connect with me. I'm sure it's great for people who can relate to it...but...yeah...nothin'.

"Producers" and "Aida". I didn't care for "Rent" either.
I loved LaChuisa's "Wild Party".
