Guilty Pleasures of Musical Theatre?

Does anyone have a song that they secretly love from a musical that is the corniest, most poorly written, overrated piece of crap ever put on a stage?

(well, maybe not THAT exaggerated... :) )

Admit it. You know you want to... :)

HAHAHA

Mine isn't THAT bad...

I still get chills every time I watch/hear "Defying Gravity" even if Idina Menzel is singing it. Really typical, I know.

The Wizard and I

Defying Gravity/Get Out and Stay Out (They may have subtle differences, but they're the same freaking song, people.)

Let's Hear It For the Boy (Footloose "OBC")

Omigod You Guys from Legally Blonde, Popular from Wicked, and pretty much those two shows as a whole.


Beyond My Wildest Dreams and She's in Love from The Little Mermaid. The score is the only thing I like about that show actually.

legally_popular, I don't think your love of Wicked or Legally Blonde is something you aren't willing to admit.

Its Your Wedding Day from the Wedding Singer

and all of Wicked. Dancing Through Life is one of my absolute favorites.

Ya know, I love Wicked and I'm not gonna say it like its a bad think. I think its such a great piece of theatre.
I do like Legally Blonde tho as my guilty pleasure.

Pretty much all of Jekyll and Hyde... and most of Aida.

Definitely As If We Never Said Goodbye from Sunset Boulevard.

and Easy Street, which just came on my iTunes.

Most of Wicked (excluding Something Bad... could never really get into that one). It's fluffy and shiny... and I can't get enough of it :P

Legally Blonde.

"legally_popular, I don't think your love of Wicked or Legally Blonde is something you aren't willing to admit."

Yes it is.

I have a few Wicked guilty pleasures but most of the music I can't stand. I also like the Spring Awakening music.

Legally Blonde always puts me in a good mood.

"Not That Kind of Thing" from The Wedding Singer is a definite guilty pleasure, as is "Nobody's Side" from Chess.

And I have to agree with you all with the Wicked stuff. I don't listen to it a lot, but whenever I hear "Defying Gravity" I get chills!

In His Eyes from Jekyll and Hyde.

Chip On My Shoulder from Legally Blonde and Written in the Stars from Aida. Guilty is charged!

[singtopher]

Posted: 7/24/09 at 8:52pm

All. Shook. Up.

Top to bottom, I don't skip a song, it's ALWAYS on my ipod.

Scott68 I deff. agree

I dont see any diffrence between get out and stay out and defying gravity.

Well I like
"I want the good times back" from the little mermaid. its tune and beat are nothing like the reast of the songs in the show but I LOVE it.

For good from wicked
I know its not a showstopper song but it means alot to me ( long story)

bitch/sl*t/liar/who*e from Toxic avenger.
Its a good song but seeing it live is just 100000000000% times better and funnier
