I Don't Care What Anyone Says, I Love...

What show gets lambasted on the boards or by the press that you absolutely adore, despite yourself?

I'm willing to admit I'm a huge Disney fanboy and love Love The Little Mermaid and liked Tarzan quite a bit. Neither of the shows are perfect, certainly, but they are beautiful, artistic shows that have a lot of life and vivacity to them, and the Disney connection always hits the pulse of what I loved about growing up.

WICKED is my fave musical. But sadly alot of people assume that if you like WICKED your some crazed fangirl who talks about it nonstops and says it has no flaws. I am not like that. The show has flaws, no musical doesnt have flaws. But WICKED, touched me alot :)

"It means nothing to come and sit in a theater night after night and immerse yourself in fantasy, only then to walk out the door and be unchanged in reality. This show will live on in our hearts. But where it truly must survive is in our actions, our compassion and our generousity of spirit towards one another." - Adam Pascal on the closing of RENT

Not a show, but I love Sarah Steele. She's pretty much unknown, but she's absolutely brilliant.

And I don't care what anyone says, I love Side Show.

Edit: Just for the hell of it, I freely and gladly admit that I'm a Spring Awakening fangirl.

As much as I dislike ALW's other works and as uncool as it is to like anything ALW - I really do adore Evita.
