Lennon!
I really miss it, especially now that it's coming upon when i saw the first preview a year ago. That was one awesome birthday present. I really could care less if it was shunned for being a "jukebox musical" I still really enjoyed it. The talent on that stage was incredible.

Aww...that wasn't a flop....Kristin Chenoweth won a Tony for it, didn't she?
Was it really considered a flop?

Posted: 7/4/06 at 12:20amIt was not financially successful, so yes it is technically considered a flop.

Posted: 7/4/06 at 12:51pmIt flopped on Broadway, and since the subject of this thread is "BROADWAY flops" it certainly qualifies.

Steel Pier and The Wild Party.
I recently saw a production of Steel Pier and the director re-wrote a lot of stuff and made it more about the serious harsh reality of Rita's situation and it was incredible. honestly one of the most beautiful stories I have seen in a while.
