How the Hell Did That Make It to Broadway?

What's the worst Broadway show (play, musical, etc.) you've ever seen? Has anyone ever walked out of the theatre as they would a bad movie? Has anyone asked for a refund for their ticket?

Prymate starring Andre DeShields as a sign language-fluent gorilla who sexually assaults Victoria Newman from The Young & The Restless.

I went with friends to see "Tru" on Broadway, a horrible show that starred Robert Morse doing an incredibly lame impression of Truman Capote. I think his impression was what was supposed to be so great about the show. Not that I was any kind of expert, but I was familiar with Capote from seeing him on talk shows and reading stuff he wrote, as well as reading about him. The show was like the staff at "Us" magazine decided to write a show in their style. I left during the intermission and hung around Times Square until my friends escaped after the show.

The next night, we went to see Lisbon Traviata, starring Nathan Lane. It was a much better experience.

A terrible revival of "Pal Joey" with Stockard Channing.

Did anyone go to see that one based on Bob Dylan songs?

"Prymate" was a bad show, with James Naughton giving the same performance he usually gives, but Andre de Shields was actually very good, considering his role.

"The Story of My Life" was a pretty crappy 2-man musical with Will Chase and Malcom Gets. Chase sang well, but his acting was not so hot, and Gets acted well but sang not that great, and the show was boring and self-indulgent.
