Mamma Mia.
Well, perhaps Carmelina, or Caroline and Change.

They should just do the curtain call of MAMMA MIA! and call it a night.
I was bored blind by NINE, but I realize a lot of people disagree. I also sat in the back and read my Playbill during THE ACT.

Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

I think the shows that are "boring" are usually because they are TOO LONG.
My list includes
(Most boring Sondheim) Into the Woods. zzzzzz and the second Act to Sunday in the Park
The Three Penny Opera
Candide (yes it's an opera but I just wait for Make Our Garden Grow)
Guys and Dolls. Since I have seen it about 1000 times I find it extremely dull. I can't sit through it again.
Cats
and the WORST MUSICAL TO EVER WIN THE TONY

It sure is different strokes for different folks. I have to admit I want to huff and puff and say "YOU'RE KIDDING!" to see shows I love on the list (Gypsy (!!!) Follies, Lion King, Company, A Little Night Music ( but then I wasn't wild about the revival - but oh, the original!).
But of course what bored me captivated others
My list of sleep inducers: Cats, Evita, Light in the Piazza, Movin' Out

Not a musical but.. War Horse. Between the drawn-out story and the excessive use of gun shots (it was a war, I get it, but half the show was spent with the audience either laughing in embarrassment of jumping at a gun shot or being on edge, awaiting the next)
I found Once quite boring too. The story really could have been told in 90 mins.

Posted: 6/2/14 at 9:17amSo happy some people thought "Lion King" was boring. During the second act, I just kept thinking, "So kill Scar already!". At least now I don't feel that I am a total crank.

I fell asleep during "Baby It's You".
"A Catered Affair" was really boring (I know why there was no intermission-to ensure everyone stayed. That was the longest 90 minute show I've ever seen.)
I wasn't taken with "Movin' Out" either.

Posted: 6/2/14 at 2:25pmI guess I am an outlier but I found If/Then to be extremely boring. I wanted to leave at intermission on opening night. And I love Once.
#172Most Boring Musicals
Posted: 6/2/14 at 2:58pm^ I Wasen't soo much bored as I was confused at If/Then- it was hard for me to follow all the storylines- but I haven't seen the show since previews.
