I actually worked on one:"Dance A Little Closer"
AND...I worked on that even rarer animal, the NO performance wonder ("The Little Prince And The Aviator")
Behind the fake tinsel of Broadway is real tinsel.

Not sure if these count because I saw them out of town:

1600 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE
CARMELINA

And a real four-performance wonder on Broadway:
BROADWAY (directed by George Abbott to celebrate his 100th birthday)

Home Sweet Homer. Actually, I really liked the score and found the book and cast quiet funny. Opened on a Sunday.
TWOGAAB "A Class Act" will never die!

I saw ONE NIGHT STAND (Jule Styne) in previews. It closed in previews. Does that count?

Wow - anyone who actually saw some of these "one night" fiascos should really elaborate on the experience for the rest of us. Priceless.

Remember nothing from Homer although I do have an autographed Playbill ( alledgedly ) signed by Brynner. You put your name & address on it & it was mailed back to you so no idea if it is genuine or not

Gantry was not that bad. As I recall, Shaw was not bad & Rita Moreno was great. The score was not too bad . I have an 8 song demo from it. I still have the Playbill but alas did not have the Foresight (an actual song title from the show) to get it signed as I had no idea it would flop

Song List from Gantry:

Act 1

Offer Yourself To Him
The Promise Of What I Could Be
Wave A Hand
Elmer Gets The Call
a) He Was There
b) Play Ball With The Lord
Katie Jonas
Someone I've Already Found
He's Never To Busy
We're Sharin' Sharon

Act 2

We Can All Give Love
Foresight
These Four Walls
Show Him The Way
You Have To Go With Me/These Four Walls (Rep)
She was A Woman
We're Sharin' Sharon (Rep)

Shaw had 4 solos & a Reprise
Moreno had 2 & a Reprise

1 Performance @ The George Abbott

Beth Fowler had 2 minor roles

Onna White did the choreography
We Can All Give Love was a number done on Ed Sullivan
RCA Victor was to do the album
