I'm probably the only person who enjoyed Breakfast at Tiffany's last year.
I also LOVE Mary Poppins.

Definitely Carrie, though I don't know if such a good score can be considered a guilty pleasure. I guess the guilty part is that I (belatedly) love the original production. I mean, it just looked so darn COOL, the whole show was like minimalist pop art giallo.

Also, the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is pretty terrible, but I love the Augustus Gloop songs and I don't know how ashamed I feel about that. They're fun, idk.

One of my biggest is the Lord of the Rings musical. I haven't seen it, and I've heard the book was a disaster. But I'll be damned if that score isn't breathtaking.

I would also put Annie and Bring it On in there, as well as Soul Doctor (I know, I know. I'm the only one)

I would definitely say Bring It On. I loved every minute of it and even play the CD a lot. Mainly when my flatmate is out.

Jekyll and Hyde
Legally Blonde (though there are a few things I have issues with)
Heathers

I was explaining to someone the other day why I consider Heathers to be a guilty pleasure. My friend asked me if it's bad. I said, "No it's really good! Very well done. But I don't feel like it is a life-changing, influential musical." I will admit though, that I've been listening to the album non-stop for the last week :)

I would not really call some of these guilty pleasures, Legally Blonde won the Olivier Award for Best Musical, Heathers is great, Bonnie and Clyde is a pretty decent show etc

Guilty pleasures would be bad shows you love like Good Vibrations or Dracula
