Angel of Music

12. A musical that is your guilty pleasure.

Tanz der Vampire - it features Meatloaf/Bonny Tyler powerballads (Seriously, Total Eclipse of the Heart! WHAT!?!), as sung by a combination of Jewish, gay and aristocratic vampires in a show originally based on a film by/starring Polanski. There are so many reasons it should be awful. And yet, while the film is painfully bad, the show is one of the most wonderful, amazing, fun, ridiculous, delightful shows I have ever seen. Which is why I've seen it in 4 countries in 4 languages and loved every. single. minute. (Except perhaps in Berlin, when they sucked the soul out of it)
