I LOVE YAGMCB, but i dont think it is a guilty pleasure cause it was good.

Applause. Cause I can hit almost all of Bacall's "notes". And I love to yell "margo" during But Alive

I happen to love Once Upon A Mattress (the Sarah Jessica Parker version). I was recently caught at a red light singing Shy at the top of my lungs (windows open mind you) and I was beyond embarrassed. As far as musical films go, nothing beats Grease 2 as a guilty pleasure. Who doesn't love Cool Rider?...

I looove Seussical...great cast and the score is too fun. I love YAGMCB as well, although I wouldn't have considered that a guilty pleasure.

oh my goodness... shame, SHAME on all of you who feel guilty for loving The Sound Of Music. tsk, tsk, tsk. nothing at all to feel guilty about. although i would absolutely never feel guilty for subjecting my friends to a good old Sound Of Music sing-a-long, i do keep one musical tucked away in the back of my shoe closet... only to be brought out in strict privacy. that musical is "The One And Only Genuine, Original Family Band". i adore it (and trust me, i'm riddled with embarrasment).

I don't think I feel guilty for any show that I love.

Maybe it's just because I love them so much that I don't notice how embarrassing they are...



Wait, wait.
Thought of one.
I feel a little guilty about loving "Once More with Feeling"
(the Buffy the Vampire Slayer musical episode... I sing it a lot... The duet reprise of Stay/Under Your Spell is just incredible. I don't care what anyone else says. It's brilliant, I say. BRILLIANT! And I'm not even a Buffy fan...)

Hahahaha ~FF~ I can't believe you watch Buffy! God what a loser...




...that reprise IS brilliant.
*lowers head*





NOT LIKE THAT...

Interesting thread...I'm so glad to know I'm not alone on some of these!

Here's just a couple of mine:

CATS
By Jeeves
Footloose

...And they're three of my favourite shows...

I personally LOVE "Once More With Feeling"...But I also think that Buffy was one of the best TV series that there ever was.It was not about slaying vampires...It was about Buffy...A teenager,growing up and all the problems they have.She wanted to be like any other teenage girl in high school...It was about trust,friends,love,acceptance,forgiveness,fitting in,being the "dweeb" that did NOT fit in.Doing what was right,Messing up.
Joss Whedon so had his finger on the pulse of what it is like to be growing up in todays world.
The fact that He wrote almost the entire thing is pretty amazing.I think that the songs in "Once More With Feeling" are VERY good.So for someone who does not write musicals...he did GREAT!!!
Wrote the music,lyrics,dialogue,...Just about everything.Since he did not have the luxury of hiring the best talent for a musical...I think that he did an incredible job.He got the absolute most that he could get out of all the actors involved.
Like when my daughters do a JR. production of something...You have 40 kids of vastly different ages and experience and talent...EVERYBODY has to get a part.You have 2 or 3 weeks to put it together...Can not be so critical.
So I do not feel guilty for LOVING once more with feeling...It was Great!

andyf, welcome to my club of buffy-musical lovers

(btw, i do not watch buffy. i just happened to be at my best friend's house when he was watching the episode BEFORE the musical one, and then saw the previews, so i HAD to watch it, and i knew a little of the back story. and the musical is effing brill.)

(and i vow that someday i WILL work my range down enough so that i can sing along with "Sweet's Song" and have my voice be audible and sound halfway decent.)
