Worst Musicals Ever
By an Amazon.com customer
Grease (Widescreen Edition, with Songbook)Grease (Widescreen Edition, with Songbook)
Buy used from: $3.95
This is not only the worst movie ever, it's the worst musical ever made! It has terrible music, terrible choreography, a terrible plot, and a terrible message. And did I mention the terrible acting? Two words--John Travolta. If someone says this is a great show, don't listen to anything else they ever say again.
Grease 2Grease 2
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $2.49
If you thought Grease was bad, Grease 2 is worse! Someone should start a fire and just burn down Rydell High.
How to Succeed in Business Without Really TryingHow to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $4.20
I can't believe I wasted two hours of my life, stayed up late, to see how this stupid musical ends. Just don't bother. Please don't bother. If you do, you'll regret it, because every time you see a bathroom you'll think about dancing around, singing about how wonderful it is to use the Executive Bathroom!
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (Full Screen Edition)Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (Full Screen Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $3.25
Yes, a flying car doesn't exactly speak of a realistic world. And yes, it's a musical, so it's not reality. But it's so, so terrible. Not surprising people sing different words to the theme song, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Bye Bye BirdieBye Bye Birdie
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $7.00
Bye Bye Birdie will get stuck in your head. And you will want to sing along with the part that goes "We hate you Conrad, oh yes we do, we hate you Conrad. Oh Conrad we hate you." Conrad, if you're out there, we hate you. We're happy when you get punched in the face. Really happy.
Cats - The Musical (Commemorative Edition)Cats - The Musical (Commemorative Edition)
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $10.89
Hard to believe this ran on Broadway for so long. Yawner.
A Chorus LineA Chorus Line
Buy new: $10.49 / Used from: $2.99
The only good part is the actual dance number at the end. The rest of it--well, you won't really care who gets picked, and who doesn't. Hard to believe this is a classic.
My Fair LadyMy Fair Lady
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $9.02
While this musical has some classic moments--"The Rain In Spain", "Wouldn't It Be Loverly", "Get Me To The Church On Time"--it has a terrible ending! The original (Pygmalion) has a much more satisfying ending. If Eliza ran off with Freddie, this movie would not be on this list!
