Posted: 4/14/06 at 11:17pmI have a few from recent seasons... Little Women, Dracula and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. I adore Carrie and Cyrano and a lot of other shows that were financial flops...

Posted: 4/14/06 at 11:40pmI didn't see Tom Sawyer, but I was in it! So i guess that's my favorite flop. Dracula was pretty good, too.

Posted: 4/15/06 at 12:30amWhy wouldn't you want to call a show a flop? It doesn't necessarily reflect badly on it, artistically.

There is a curious paradox that no one can explain;
Who understands the secret of the reaping of the grain,
Who understands why spring is born out of winter's laboring pain,
Or why we all must die a bit before we grow again.

Posted: 4/15/06 at 8:14am"The Woman in White" all the way! And I loved it a lot so it's on top of the roughly 5 flops I've seen and loved on Broadway.
How to properly use its/it's:
Its is the possessive. It's is the contraction for it is...

Posted: 4/15/06 at 8:16amIf Little Women didn't make any money, then it's a flop.

Posted: 4/15/06 at 9:20amWhen I was little I loved "King of Hearts" and "Little Prince and the Aviator", although I don't know if I would feel the same way if I saw them now as a adult. I have the most vivid memories of these flops, "Smile", "Doonesbury", "Mail" "Chess" and a British flop "The Mutiny".

Posted: 4/15/06 at 11:22amLittle Women all the way. I saw it last December, and I had planned on seeing it again last summer, and then, like, two months before I go, I get this email saying, "Little Women is closing." I started crying.
