Posted: 4/28/05 at 5:40pmHow could you say that Scarlet Pimpernel was a flop? It ran 722 performances and it most certainly did not lose money.

Posted: 4/28/05 at 6:28pmI dont know whether DROOD turned a major profit, but I dont really consider a show that ran for two years and won a handful of Tony Awards to qualify as a flop.

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown (revival)
And...yes...seussical. It was fun 
I'm going to look into some of the lesser known ones that were mentioned here...some of them sound really intriguing.

With its three incarnations, Scarlet Pimpernel is rumored to have lost an estimated $20 million, which may make it the biggest money loser of all time.
And Passion did not make a profit on Broadway.

Posted: 4/29/05 at 12:06amUrinetown ran 965 performances - two years, four months on Broadway, returned its investment and made a profit. Variety would classify that as a hit.
