Any Broadway show debuting in 2016 could bomb or blow up.

So a bomb is bad but blowing up is good?

That was a good one

 

Nerds - WHY!!!!!

American - Subject matter may be a turn off to tourists and others

 

Holiday - Could bomb or make it

 

Paramour - Cirque is a brand name but the Lyric is cursed. Who knows.

Oh no! That house is cursed too! They're all going to bomb! (Which is different from blowing up, right? I'm still confused)

Why are we getting a new thread for every silly article on medium now?

Of the upcoming musicals in 2016 that I could see flopping, they are:
 

American Psycho-Because of its dark subject matter, I could see it be a very hard sell to the general public.

 

Bright Star-Can anyone really see this show succeeding just because it has Steve Martin's name on it?

 

Disaster!-I'm thinking it will probably end up being this year's It Shoulda Been You. A musical that features a cast of Broadway veterans created by well known (and liked) people in the community, but ain't gonna get that much recognition.

 

Nerds-While I'm excited to see North Carolina Theatre having a show sent to Broadway for the first time (yes, I live in North Carolina), I still can't imagine this show actually succeeding.
