Currently, "Its Your Wedding Day". Ever since that free download from Itunes, I've been listening to it non stop. Last season, it was probably Bombay Dreams.

'Life After Life' from Dracula is one of my favorite songs. I love it.

HECK YA! That song made the show almost worth going to. Although, the effects and the huge discounts they were giving towards the end of the run didn't hurt either.

I don't think Aida would be considered a guilty pleasure. It's not thought of to be that bad. And I love Like Father, Like Son but hate Another Pyramid.

Really? I've always thought it's looked upon with general disdain by theatre fans, but maybe I'm just reading too much BWW. Personally, I think the music itself (sans the Zoser songs) is absolutely great -- hence why it's my "guilty pleasure," I suppose. It's the book and dialogue that need work.

I don't know if this counts, but I listen to Annie Get Your Gun. The Ethel Merman and Bernadette Peters versions.

I'm not sure if this qualifes as a guilty pleasure, but I love Spamalot.

I love Spamalot and it was one of the best theatre experiences I've ever had. I also love Taboo, Chess, and Lestat.

Guilty pleasure? I have three different 'Camelot' CDs and my favourite is the 1982 London recording. :3

Seussical.

Then again, my theatre company is doing it this fall, so technically, my repeated - and repeated - listenings are JUSTIFIED.

Lestaaaaaaaat. No matter how bad some of the story, dialogue and lyrics got, I still love it. Especially the awesome cast. Heck yeah!

Jane Eyre

I went through this HUGE obsession back in high school and even though I know that its music isn't up-to-par, I will always love this show.

Wicked is my only guilty pleasure.

Lestat, The Sound Of Music Revival Recording (I KNOW!), Jekyll and Hyde

[JudasIscariot]

Whoever does like like Jesus Christ Superstar can fight me.

My guilty pleasure is Lestat.

Dracula
In My Life (sampler)


(Buddy, loving Jane Eyre is NOTHING to be guilty about!!)

Well, it used to be quite popular, but now, apparently liking Wicked is a horrible thing. So I'd say my guilty pleasure is Wicked.

Oh, and I love Disney shows.

Starlight Express. I was raised on the OLC which my parents have had since before I was born...I guess that you could say it was my first favorite show, although I've never seen it.

Bring Back Birdie

Mine is Wicked, because I know it really isn't legit theater but it's just fun.

I have evry word that I can understand in BARE: a pop opera memorized.

[munkustrap178]

Posted: 7/16/06 at 2:20pm

I have the whole show of BARE memorized...dialogue and all!

BOMBAY DREAMS is also a guilty pleasure. I don't care what anyone says, that music was catchy!

Wicked. I am actually on my second copy.

The More We Dance from Dirty Rotten and December 1963 (Oh What a Night...) from Jersey Boys are currently my top played on iTunes.... both peaking over 300. Yeah what can I say I love both of those shows way too much.

Side Show....i don't care if you think a show about siamese twins is stupid (i do). but i am in love with the duets.

i mean, they are just so beautiful, then some of the lyrics put this albulm into the guilty pleasures category- "we are freaks stuck together and we'll always be alone" "no one could love a siamese twin, nobody wants us, noone ever has, noone ever will". i mean, it's awful. i just start giggling. then it goes into a beautiful, soaring duet.

Well, my high school's show last year was Starlight Express...so, as bad as some of the songs are, I guess that would be mine.
