No, partially thanks to Garth Drabinsky's creative book-keeping, RAGTIME never even had a chance at making money. It had a weekly break-even of just over $600K ..at a time when $450K was the norm! But, it was a "success" running more than two years, garnering critical acclaim and it still regularly revived by regional and community theatres.

My favorite Broadway flop is JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, from 2000 and 2001. The show played 6 months and generally got poor reviews for Gayle Edwards' offbeat production. I saw this show a number of times and loved it. The cast was great: Glenn Carter, Tony Vincent, Maya Days, Max Von Essen and many many talented people.

Technically Sunday in the Park with George and Sweeney Todd were both flops so those count! But flop flops id say Lestat.

Taboo and You're a Good Man Charlie Brown

i've recently been falling for Taboo after i got Euan Mortan's cd. i mean, i always liked it but i'm kind of memorizing the songs now...

my favorites would definitely be Steel Pier and Carrie.

i wouldn't consider some of the others that received acclaim a "flop". my definition of flop would be those shows that sort of came & went quickly "undiscovered". Little Women was a flop.
