The worst I've seen was a production of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown by a theater company I will not name in Glendale, CA. Horrible. The only thing holding the music togehter was the drums. THe stage was far too big for only 6 people. Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and Lucy were great, but they were the only good points. Sally did weird things wih her hands while she talked and fidgeted a TON. Schroeder looked like he was dead. Linus scared me. The usic was played way too fast. The volume level fluctuated from A Little Too Loud to AHHHH MY EARS. All in all, it was bad.

Oh boy... Most of the shows I was in had SOMETHING go wrong. I'll start with the church production I did.
Church (Angel): I have no idea what it was called. It was this christmas thing and I didn't even go to the church! But they needed another angel of Bethlehem, so they picked me. I literally had to improvise the songs!
Jesus Christ Superstar (Mary Magdaline): It was okay. We used a music track for the songs, because we were so young. We just said the lines and lip-sync to it.
The Wizard of Oz (Glinda): It was my first show-show. Eighth grade. Friday night my voice cracked on the line "She brings you good news, or haven't you heard? When she fell*crack* out of Kansas, a miracle occured" Also, they spun me around (I was flying) when they weren't supposed to. Our Wicked Witch had larengitis until Sunday, and they had added (I think they added it) a verse of "The Jitterbug" for her to sing. Our scarecrow was going to sing it for her (it was a girl) but the WW sang it anyway. Saturday night they literally poured water on our WW. Sunday sucked, we had a different Dorothy who didn't know anything and she kept skipping lines. I didn't even get to say "Tap your heels to gether three times, and think to yourself, theres no place like home..." she just said it. Also, they put tobasco sauce on the cookies the farmhands ate. That was funny. Oh, and back then I was really soft-spoken and they turn my mic up REALLY high once on accident, so I said "NEVER is a very long time, Dorothy"
The Music Man (Townsperson): A Complete and utter disaster. John (Harold) remembered his lines, but was late on a few of them. He couldn't hit his high note in "Seventy-Six Trombones" on the last night. Our director was a b***h! And she kept freaking out. No one knew the dance steps for "The Wells-Fargo Wagon" except me and John. The piano stool broke saturday night when (I cant remember the characters name but marcellus loves her) fell off it. The mics kept cutting in and out throughout the show.
Beauty and the Beast (Townswoman/Gargoyle): An excellent production. We won 3 Awards (Best supporting actor runner up: Ryan Lattanzio[my ex bf] as Cogsworth, Best Supporting Actor: Seth Palmer as Lumiere, Best Production Runner Up) Brandy-new mics (YAY!) During a dress rehearsal, Belle's yellow gown had a pin in it that stabbed her. Friday night, Mrs. Potts literally fell over backwards. OMG IT WAS HILARIOUS! We're sending it in to Funniest Home Videos (with her permission). Everyone commented on how well Lumiere and Cogsworth handled it. They just acted as if it was part of the show. Saturday night, the smoke machine produced too much smoke, and the smoke detectors went off! But thankfully, everyone knew what happened and no one left.
Worst I've seen: None. I've seen Annie twice, and in one production, the dog ran offstage, but thats okay. Peter Pan and the other Annie was put on by Webster Theatre Guild (WTG) and they were absolutly amazing. The Wiz was done by a school, and that was EXCELLENT, but the scarecrow was really quiet.

Waiting in the Wings.
It's about old cronie actresses who live in a retirement/charity home.
Their last wish in life is a ******** solarium. Which is basically a sun room.
The only interesting character in the whole damn show is the pyromaniac-lady, Sarita... and she leaves the Wings halfway through the show.
It's just a really really bad, boring show.
Rassafrassinplay.

The worst show I've ever been in was Little Shop of Horrors. The guy who was playing Seymour had no place to put his microphone so we stuck it in his pants figureing it would stay there right? Wrong. When he first came on was that 2nd song,"Down on Skid Row". His michrophone fell out, so later we stuck it in his boxers and he went on stage later and it fell out again. There was one scene where he wore shorts and so we taped it to his boxers. His boxers fell. xp It was funny and sorta looked like part of the show. Me, playing Audrey, was right in front of him when the fell. You should've seen his face. It was turning bright red. It was hilarous. So finnally we taped his boxers and pants together and the went on.

Man, the worst play I've ever been in was Stage Door. All of the actresses were really amature, and the play was just lame... The only thing that got the audience was my outrageously insane persona when I played senile ol' Mrs. Orcutt. Muahahaha. (Think Mrs. Doubtfire + Monty Python old ladies... except played by a woman.) The maid was really awesome, too, and David Kingsley, but seriously, the writing was just a bore. Our set was really good though, and so were the costumes. heart
@MysteronKitty: OMG, Dracula the Musical was so horrible! xD I laughed through like, the entire thing x:

One I may be scarred by forever is "A Comedy of Errors" in 6th grade. We needed two sets of twins. Didn't have them. Plus, we had so many actors that the director decided to have at least two actors on most parts.
When you're trying to pretend that 2 people that look totally different look exactly the same, ok, it's a strech. When you're trying to pretend that 6 people who all look totally different look exactly the same, it's not even funny anymore. For example, one of our last sets of twins was a short girl with dark skin and black hair. The other was a tall, blonde haired, blue eyed boy. I'm pretty sure the audience had utterly no idea what was going on, or how these people kept getting confused for each other.
And, to top it all off, the director decided that swordfighting was "inappropriate for the school environment" and got rid of all our swords. Instead, she had us tickle each other with peacock feathers. Aaaaaaah. The horror. The horror.
The only good news was that the school never brought her back to direct another play...

Worst Show Seen: Probably a local college production of Cinderella. The only person who could sing was the Herald, so after his song, everything went downhill. the sets were lazily constructed, (The throne room was two thrones and a carpet set up in a corner of Cinderella's house) the casting was off, (the "ugly" stepsisters were prettier than Cinderella, and random characters were added out of nowhere who did absolutely nothing the whole show) and they cut so much that there couldn't possibly have been ten miutes to pass before the ball was over!
Worst Play Been In: Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, the non-musical version. Besides being our old director's last show, the play was a disaster. The set fell over on the second night, and the audience hated it!

Worst play I've been in? "Rockpunzel". It was written by my school teachers. Its a "rock" version of "rapunzel". THe songs were really cheesy, and we were named things like "The Toxic Clan", "Mustard", "Chilli", ""Wormwood", "Stone" ((you know. the kingdom of ROCK -.- wink )
and the lines were ridiculous too. One of the lines was "Should i make love to you now?". The intension was the say "should i cast a spell so that you will fall in love now?" but yeahhh....
Another bad line was when the evil people APOLOGIZED! What the hell was the point? Stupid ending..but yeah, they re-wrote that so that they had a spell cast on them to make them nice. Then the leader said, "We shall no longer be the Toxic clan, but the FROLIC clan!"
It was pathetic.

the taming of the shrew, the seniors did it at my school, horrid, no wonder they do teh senior plays free of admission. They decided to do the play right before the annual date that they do a play, they were rading from the script, couldn't act, weren't funny, eeven when they were supoosed to be, and woirst ofa ll(this happens every year) they couldn't keep their clothes on! That happened this year too, and this girl in a midsummer night;s dream (the play) talked like a robot, but overall the play was good. Why can't the sniors keep their clothes on, or act! It completely and totally sucked, I was vampire and it was garlic. Not to mention that one of the guys who switches places with the other one obviously was the oppisite of his character's sexual orientation, I'm not saying that that's bad but he didn't evn try covering it up! He played it up through th entire play! he wasn't acting, he was just fricken prancing around the stage having no idea what he was doing! The taming of the shrew last year was completely horrible! the only good thing is that it made a midsummer night's dream look like it was an oscar contender!.......Well, I feel better now.
