I know that everyone has them...Musicals that definitely fall under the "Cheezy" category, but that we listen to all of the time in secret. I have many. I will list two:

1.) Barnum
2.) The Tap Dance Kid

Now you...

I don't listen.. as I can't stand the original cast recording... but Mamma Mia on Broadway is a guilty pleasure.... *8shrugs** I can't help it. I findn Joe Machota irresistable..

Despite being a Sondheim snob, I listen to some real "fluff".

1) Seussical
2) Cats (hangs head in shame)
3) Movin' Out
4) Hairspray

Just kidding about HAIRSPRAY. I'm not guilty about it nor is it "fluff"

I thoroughly enjoyed "Mamma Mia."

i treated phantom of the opera like a religion when i was in 5th grade. i was very serious about it. now i can understand it has some major flaws and most parts of it are pretty annoying but i still have a huge soft spot for it and left the theater shaking when i saw it again a few months ago. :)

I know, I know. But in defense it WAS my first ever Broadway show. So I have a soft-spot for it.

Cats is definitely my guilty pleasure, it was also my first show Priest, so I have a good reason to listen to it every now and then :-P

Ok, cheezy... How about Lil Abner? I found the OBC Recording a few months ago and I occassionally catch myself whistling "Jubilation T. Cornpone". Then I look both ways to see if anyone heard me!

Every so often I flip the iPod dial to the Sound of Music while I'm at work and look around at my coworks clacking away while listening to the goatherd song.

See, even we Sondheim snobs can visit the hoi poloi every so often...

Footloose... ::hangs head in shame::

It was the first Broadway musical I saw on stage and I've grown to become a huge fan of some of the original cast.

"The Sound of Music" - A true classic the music NEVER gets old. It has lifted me from many dark times in my life.
"Joseph"
"Mamma Mia!"
"Footloose"
"Movin' Out"

Marquise - I have this odd need to do the little dance every time I leave the office... Now you have me listening to it - and it is 5:00, so I'm outta here, just me and Julie Andrews and a gaggle of little children

...and up in the nursery an absurd little bird is popping up to say cuckoo

"I Had a Ball"-not very good but the performances pull it off.

[wickedfan]

Posted: 8/18/04 at 5:02pm

BIG is not a guilt pleasure. BIG had a great score. the book needed work, that's all.
My guilty pleasures are: Seussical, Thoroughly Modern Millie (great dancing)
and the Apple Tree, actually scratch that, i luv the apple tree and am proud of it.

DANCE OF THE VAMPIRES!!!!!!!! One of the biggest flops, but the best choreography ever.
