You probably saw Catherine Brunell, or Sue Haefner.
Did anyone here see Susan Egan play Millie? — Page 2

We saw it early on and Sutton was out sick. I don't remember who the understudy was but she was very good. Was it Suan or someone else?
Egan was the replacement right before the show clodsed a flop. It wasn't her.

Whichever one I saw was very good.
But then I saw Sutton do "Gimme, Gimme" on Rosie and realized the difference. From that point on, I considered Sutton Foster a star.

Yeah, usually the term "flop" is steered more towards the financial status, and it didn't recoup.

Here's an old thread with some good explanations, especially from MargoChanning
https://forum.broadwayworld.com/readmessage.php?thread=213744&page=1
Rock Of Ages has been on Broadway for years, and I don't think it has recouped. So, if it closed tomorrow, it would still be a flop musical financially.

In the last 12 years, only one Best Musical Tony winner has closed a flop.

"I just don't think you can use the word "FLOP" with a show that ran two years and won many Tony Awards. It also won many Drama Desk Awards.
A Flop- a show that ran for two weeks examples (Urban Cowboy, Prymate perhaps)
Millie might not have made money but it ran two years and was not a flop.
Don't call it a flop please. It was not a money maker but it was NOT A FLOP."
I agree with whoever said this 8 years ago.

It doesn't matter what your opinion is. If you invest 10 dollars in a show and after several years of enthusiastic houses you only get 7 back, your business flopped.
It's really not THAT hard to understand.

Exactly, blaxx - feelings don't matter. One may prefer to say the sky is green, but it's blue, and a show that loses money is called a flop.
If you don't like the word, you get used to the word; you don't get to change its definition.

Is that what you said? I'm sorry. For some reason, I thought what you said was "Don't call it a flop please. It was not a money maker but it was NOT A FLOP."
There must have been some interference, or static, or something...

No i didn't say that. I just copied and pasted that quote that someone said 8 years ago on the "Millie is a flop thread" that wynbish gave me the link too. At the bottom i even wrote:
"I agree with whoever said this 8 years ago."

Merriam-Webster defines flop as a "complete" failure. Perhaps we should differentiate something like this as a "fiscal flop."
flop noun
Definition of FLOP
1: an act or sound of flopping
2: a complete failure
3 slang : a place to sleep; especially : flophouse
4: dung (cow flop); also : a piece of dung
