Bat BOy (UK)
The 'good half' of Carrie
La Cava
Witches of Eastwick

(Does the UK production of Taboo count? It played for over 18 months, but I'm not sure whether it made any money back?)

Passion is not a flop!

It ran 280 performance AND made a profit!

It had hardly any set, just fancy backgrounds, and was cheap to run, so it made it's money back.

My favourites:

Caroline, or Change
Anyone Can Whistle
Baby
Merrily We Roll Along
Pacific Overtures
Mack and Mabel
Seussical

I saw METRO in London in 1988 I think. It was elaborate and loud and stuff........I don't remember it very well. But it was a hot ticket in London at the time.

Caroline, Or Change. It was an amazing theatrical experience.

It was pretty wild, and the whole cast was from Poland and very difficult to understand. The energy was fantastic and they tried SO hard I could not resist the cast. Not a bad score either...nominated for a Tony.

Cant believe that I left off Merrily...was at opening nite!

But I guess all of Sondheim's shows would be on my list as they all lost money ;( and are all faves.

"The Color Purple"

I'm Curious. How can a show that is technically still in development and workshops be considered a flop?

Anywho, My fav would be Caroline, or Change. Soon may it be revived.
