11. "Smile" from "Smile"

The "Swiss Cheese" part makes me giggle. ^_^

I think it's a great social satire of the entire pagent industry

[DmanRealty]

No, I have seen it professionally done and it was great. You must have done it with a garbage director and a bunch of garbage actors pal.

[JustTiffayy]

Mine is too!

Our choreographer makes it really fun but we asked to do a musical that we can't fail at next time cuz no one ever gets the jokes in the songs.

I don't think this musical is bad so much as incredibly cheesey.

That sort of thing only goes over well every so often, and the early 90s was not one of those times. I personally enjoy it, it's just that i can see why people would despise it.

My school is doing this play now!

[Xadllas]

I really like this song! ^+^

[DarkPDX]

My school did this, and and I can honestly say it was the worst show we'd ever done.

There was a reason this floped. It's like all the music that was thrown away from chorus line.

In any case, this music now makes me go crazy... and you can't find it anywhere else, Hamlisch refused to make a recording of it to sell. When asked, he just smiled, laughed, and shook his head.
