Musicals you love but many don't

What musicals do you really enjoy that many don't like/consider to be "bad"? I understand this question is rather subjective, but I think many of you understand what I mean since we're on this board. 

 

For me, it's:

 

Legally Blonde (but I believe that many enjoy generally?)

Finding Neverland (I don't understand the vitriol towards this musical - I absolutely adore it) 

Gigi (I thought Vanessa was great in it)

All Shook Up

Tarzan (I even bought tickets to see, but it closed before I could see it, ha)

 

I know there are others, but I can't think of all of them right now. 


Every so often there was a rare moment of perfect balance when I soared above him.

The playing of PASSION is practically forbidden in my house, but I loved the show and the recording. I have to admire a show that so adamantly refuses to be "likeable".

I didn't see it but I love the recording of FAR FROM HEAVEN. I'm sorry so many here found it disappointing.

I very much enjoyed the national tour of Dirty Dancing. 

 

I also absolutely adored Once. From what I understand, many people loved this show, but it was either you really love it or absolutely hate it, no in-between. I went with my grandmother who loathed it.

THE VISIT.....I loved it and the music is spectacular. I'm not sure why so many people loathed it. I thought it was, cool, unique and different. I got to see it with Roger Rees before his passing.
