I'll agree with Little Shop. It was the musical that got me into musicals! I've never seen it live, but I have the OBC album and of course the off-Broadway show and have of course seen the movie (both endings), and I think it's amazing. I'm glad it got a shot at Broadway, but I really think it works best in a small intimate theatre, actually what if it played at the Circle in the Square? I bet that work great! I can dream.....I can dream...

REEFER MADNESS gets my vote.

LITTLE SHOP I love too but I've never seen it as very capitalising on the cheesy/campy aspect.

^^^Yeah, I meant to add that bit. I don't see it as cheesy. I see it more as quirky/campy, but not exactly in a cute way.

Circle in the Square or the Helen Hayes would be awesome!

Little Shop is a great campy show, and it's a gem to see it done well live. I honestly love Urinetown, though that's more of a Broadway show (then again, it did start off-broadway and they had a recent off-broadway revival), and the camp in the original production is amazing.

Bat Boy all the way! I'll be in Chicago this summer and they're doing a production of it. So stoked to see it live as I've only heard the cast recording!

I think Ashman would role in his grave if he read that some didn't feel Little Shop wasn't wonderfully campy (I think maybe it just shows that some don't understand the term?)

A couple years back there was the is musical parody of the Golden Girls called "Thank You For Being a Friend: The Musical" All the ladies were played by men in drag...as far as parodies go i was really impressed by it. It was a full musical with really tuneful songs and just really funny for an off off broadway musical.
