GOOD VIBRATIONS - but I really have a hard time counting that as a musical.
The worst Broadway musical I've ever seen is GV, followed by BROOKLYN.

Posted: 11/7/05 at 3:55pmIt might just be Two's Company, at least judging by the cast recording...
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

Thrill Me: The Leopold and Loeb Story
Monotonous plot, listless lyrics, and the same two chords over and over again.

You guys have never had to sit through EUREKA! THE MUSICAL.
BAD, BAD, BAD!
Think Les Mis, only without anything that made Les Mis even slightly decent.
TERRIBLE!
Unfortunately/Fortunately I can't comment about things like GV and Brooklyn...

I don't know how to respond. I find something to enjoy in everything. If I had to say, it would be the revival of a show we all love that I'm too ashamed to say...
I like it now, but I thought it was so so than...

Posted: 11/7/05 at 4:54pmI knew you were going to say that! I despised the revival as well, but wouldn't count it as worst...

Posted: 11/7/05 at 4:56pmWell, I don't go to Broadway as NEARLY as many times you guys do, but I go often. I also think OKLAHOMA! is a D- on my grade level. Save the title song.

Of all the shows I've seen NOTRE DAME DE PARIS is definitely the worst!
Of all the shows I've seen on Broadway, DRACULA is the worst by far (but it's slightly better than NDDP!).

Haha, my good friend was in Thrill Me when it was here in Boston. Terrible orchestrations. Those two chords would have sounded a little better if they added some strings in the mix. It's not the worst show, though, I'm sure there are worse out there.

Posted: 11/7/05 at 5:24pmUndoubtedly GOOD VIBRATIONS. It was the most painful thing Ive ever had to sit through. If not for the boundless talent, the show would have totally flopped in my book. It was still awful. The worst musical I've ever seen or heard. Gahh!!

Posted: 11/7/05 at 5:27pmOklahoma! no question the worst, what a waste of money. I could've seen something so much better. Kiss Me Kate I never liked very much, nor Music Man.

Oklahoma?
Munk - I like DOTV, too. But I like everything - except for BKLYN. That was torture. So was A Stoop on Orchard Street - which at least meant well.

Posted: 11/7/05 at 5:31pmI'm seriously not to fond of KISS ME KATE. The last revival did what it could with the material it had (some good songs, everything else was just...blahhh). I dunno...
