oh, geesh. I had forgotten about that play. I was sent the script
of "How the West Was Fun" years ago, with an audition tape of the music. It was dreadful. I think you hit on the worst play ever written. LOL |

I'll add my vote for GREASE as a most tiresome play/musical. Ughh. Then there are all those ridiculous mello-drama throw-away (and throw up!) scripts we used to end the season with. You know, the kind of vapid production where we encouraged the audience to boo for the villain and applaud for the hero. What a waste of time.

No, I don't think anyone has mentioned the all time worst script, but I dragged my family to a production of it last Thursday night. That is "The Queen of Bingo". Yep. We saw it done by two guys in drag (probably improved it) and although they both did an admirable job and acted their hearts out, they couldn't redeem this terrible script.

Anything by Rogers and Hammerstein.
And, its not a bad play, but if I have to do The Miracle Worker one more time, I'm going to have to hurt someone. |

If you DON'T like R&H and Miracle Worker, may we ask what you DO like? |

Its not that I don't like them. I did. Once upon a time. But now I've done
them to death and I'm sick of them. I like .... anything other than Rogers and Hammerstein and The Miracle Worker. There's A LOT more out there than that. |

Hmmm, besides most musicals and anything by Jack SharkeY, I'd have to say The Shadow Box - the most depressing play ever written!

The Pot of Gold (Plautus), Carousel (R&H--not because I've done it so many times, but the music is HORRIBLE! and so is the plot [if that's what you can call it]), Oklahoma! (R&H), Anything by Samuel Beckett, Six Plays in Search of an Author (Pirandello), Everyman, Just about anything from the Lillenas catalog (I'm sorry, but the plots are super weak), Sherlock Holmes (Pioneer Drama Service by Tim Kelly), Annie, and Oliver!
