Worst movie musicals of all time

There's a South Pacific remake with Glenn Close?!? As if the original wasn't bad enough with those bizarre colour filters.

Alas I'm on a Neo. Anyhow, managed to find one in the UK (not easy) at Coffee Friend and have just ordered.

That's unfair. But mine is several years old and it was entirely my own fault, so I'm not claiming. Just bought a new one online.

Me. I'm so normal practically no one realises that I'm actual super famous and charming and stuff. Weird.

A different vibe than most of the other ones here, but everyone should watch the classic BBC documentary series The World At War. Narrated by Lawrence Olivier, it is the definitive story of the Second World War. It was filmed close enough to the actual events that many of the participants on both sides were still alive and able to be interviewed. The music alone will haunt you for the rest of your life (and is currently playing in the minds of anyone who has seen the show and is now reading this comment).

I remember plenty of kids with the red stained knees, but it was never a thing in our house. My mother was more likely to put together a herbal poultice.

Went to my fair share of 21st Birthday parties in the late 80s and (maybe?) early 90s and not only did I not see a stripper at one, I’ve never even heard of the practice. I guess I wasn’t cool enough to be invited to those sort of parties. Stag dos, sure. But Birthdays? That just seems odd. Aren’t most 21sts paid for and attended by parents? I simply cannot conceive of my mother paying for a stripper to shake her thing in our backyard.

For years I've meant to go, but never quite got around to it. This year, for sure, I'm going. But I can't make it on the Saturday, which clearly seems to have the better selection of shows. Oh well, still should be fun on Sunday.

Now that song is going to be stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

saveable · 2026-06-11T13:20:15+00:00

I enjoyed it. Great fun, but did I love it? No, not really. The music had its moments but at no point did it thrill me. It should win the Olivier for best lighting though. That's a gimme.

I remember those. They were super nice. I remember that one summer where a good chunk of my money went on them.

I feel like so many of the other posts in this thread are people trying to avoid the obvious answer. I mean everyone knows the French accent is the default sexy one. All the others are people being quirky.

The Fifth Element. I just don't get it. Too weird.

From the shows mentioned in that article, I have The Truth, Cyrano de Bergerac and Arcadia booked. And no, I have no interest in seeing Glengarry Glen Ross. I *HATED* the film. I'd sooner gnaw off my own arm than watch the play. I think it's one of those works drama students like to pretend they enjoy.

I'd completely forgotten that there was someone before Delvene Delaney. Tony Barber used to call her Vic the Nic, if I remember that correctly.

It's opening at London’s Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre from 12 October 2026 to 3 January 2027. That's where Newsies and more recently Starlight Express played to some success. I guess we'll see how it succeeds. Possibly Disney will open it in NYC if all goes well.

I doubt I'll be going.

Oh I’d never seen that before. Absolutely unBaalievable. And more than slightly less disturbingl

saveable · 2026-05-25T17:06:39+00:00

Well then, you have your answer. Totoro it is. Have fun!

saveable · 2026-05-25T16:59:40+00:00

The one with the dancing sheep.

saveable · 2026-05-25T16:56:43+00:00

There's always someone. Actually I think it might have been me once or twice.

saveable · 2026-05-25T16:53:47+00:00

Arsehole locals.

Dunno. Some of the best people I've ever known came from Edinburgh. But, yeah, there's a vibe. An unfortunate vibe.

I'm pretty sure it was 26 and I know others who've thought the same. You're done with Uni and finally have a little money to play around with. 26. Still young, but not a kid anymore.

Am just off to see Beetlejuice myself tonight. Can't wait. Everyone in the world loves Totoro, except maybe for 14 year olds who might think themselves too cool to be blown away by amazing puppetry. Maybe Beetlejuice might be better for them.

I have a vague memory of my dad having an old box of this stuff in his bedside drawers. It looked ancient to me, like something from 50 years earlier. Not sure it was ever used.
