Best flop that's a hit that you never saw!

The last revival of Guys and Dolls was a flop, but previous productions have been hits and I never saw any of them. Does that fit the criteria?

What about hits that didn't do well critically so people act like they're flops?

The Nature of this thread's confusing. A flop is something that's generally unsuccessful, and a hit is something that's (usually) critically + commercially successful...

Figures- this board has some of the snarkiest, bitter and unsocial behavior of any I have posted on. I asked about flops epople enjoyed- because I find that I really do enjoy many of the shows with poor word of mouth- and by the same token, I have found that many of the highly touted, commercially successful vehicles leave me cold. Sorry if you found the topic worthy of a sarcastic and parody- and I would venture to guess you are, in general, a very critical, judgmental- and basically unhappy person. Did I hit the nail on the head?

ggersten - that might be a winner!


And BWAY Baby 1 or 2 or whatever, Taz is neither critical nor judgemental but a favorite of many. Perhaps you are just a sensitive soul. The thread and the content are funny. You can play in your own threads.


Carry on.

"I would venture to guess you are, in general, a very critical, judgmental- and basically unhappy person."

And I would venture that under your veneer of self-serious moralizing and pretension, you are extremely insecure about your own abilities and sensitive to even a hint of criticism, even in jest about a series of *message board posts*, and thus find yourself often finding solace in a fabricated air of victimhood, which deflects the blame off of your own insecurity and self-loathing and onto others. Did I hit the nail on the head?

WOW- this message board is something. I do love Bway and talking about it- and hearing what othr people have to say- but, let me say that it takes some getting used to- lots of critical barbs, sarcasm, catty comments- okay- I can do that as good as the next- I am NYC born and raised- and am not stranger to this type of interplay- Bring it on.

BWAY Baby2 - you must play on some pretty tame message boards if you think this one is snarky and critical. And I am not NYC born and raised. Go play in your other threads.

No- I will post on any message board that I want. You go post on another board- this one will do me just fine. You sound like a wonderful person- so glad to meet you.

I know you aren't talking to me but this board actually has a rather large reputation for being unkind and snarky. I think it depends on the day. Compared to boards like Internet movie database, this board is a haven.

I can see why- thank you for the response- I guess I just don't operate on a very catty and sarcastic level- unless I have a good reason to. I am sure other sites are worse- though I tend to avoid unnecessary rudeness and negativity when I can. I will continue to post here- and if I find that the level is not for me- I will leave. Again, I appreciate your response.
