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)

Posted: 2/28/06 at 10:35amHome Sweet Homer. Actually, I really liked the score and found the book and cast quiet funny. Opened on a Sunday.

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
