I have not seen as much as many of you, but here are my Worsts:
Worst Broadway Musical: The Little Mermaid
Worst Broadway Musical Revival: Grease (the 2007 revival, after the TV show to pick the leads)
Worst Broadway Play: Farinelli and the King -- it had Mark Rylance, beautiful singing by Iestyn Davies, and a wonderful set design and production values, but the script was pretty weak, and it would never have come to Broadway without all those trappings around it.
Worst Broadway Play Revival: The Country Girl (the 2008 revival, with Morgan Freeman, Frances McDormand, and Peter Gallagher) -- with a cast like that, directed by Mike Nichols, why was it so boring? |
