I don't feel "guilty" for liking any musicals and no one should. But the one musical I like that many don't is Mamma Mia. It's a fun time

Yeah that's what I meant really. I didn't mean feeling guilty just what is your favourite musical that not many people like :) I probably should have rephrased it

I love Mamma Mia, it's just pointless fun. Also...this is pretty embarrassing...but I enjoyed certain parts Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. Although the costumes looked pretty cheap, the show had some visuals that I thought were mesmerizing. Other than that it was a very boring and tedious show.

To the OP: you chose your words just fine.  The well known phrase is exactly the way you worded it:  Guilty Pleasure.  You are guilty of finding pleasure in something few others do.

Rockabye Hamlet (only because it is reviled by virtually everyone except me, and I actually thought it was terrifically exciting - having seen it FIVE times! )

To Jay

 

I am with you on Rockabye. Saw it and was like nothing I have seen then and since. Have a live audio of the show and a 10 track LP of songs from it. I also have a cd of an opera Jones did on Marilyn Monroe called Hey Marilyn. Where is Encores when you need them?.

Mine is more movie musicals than stage musicals, but: Xanadu and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band. Yes, the 1978 movie with Peter Frampton and the Bee Gees. I was 14 years old at the time and thought Peter was the cutest thing ever.

If I'd seen it as an adult who knew anything about the Beatles I probably would have been appalled, but as a teen I thought the use of Beatles songs in the story line was pretty clever.  And hey, it had Earth Wind & Fire and Aerosmith in it, so...

I don't know if I'd  put Rock of Ages in the category of a show not many people liked, since it was a huge hit, but it's one of my favorite shows.

Interesting choice. How was Irene Cara by the way?

Hedwig.... and the amount of times I saw it. 


Also loved It Shoulda Been you when it was getting ripped in the reviews.

Wedding singer, heathers, and if American Pyscho counts then that also.

Hedwig is a great musical though. Don't be guilty about loving something which is truly generational, phenomenal, and fantastic! :)

Mine's Legally Blonde too. OMG you guys...
