OK, and some of the stuff from Evita.

My perception is a bit colored, though, because I was required to play 
"Memory" from _Cats_ in orchestra several years, and the simplified 
version grated on me (and made me dislike the song and the composer .  
Then to hear bits of things like "Jesus Christ Superstar" and "Joseph and 
the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" - *those* definitely are puke-inducing 
for me and fit my earlier description.
