Caroline, or Change
Because it was great, not in the "flop" way of campy fun.

Posted: 7/21/05 at 7:43pmI had no idea Sunset was such a flop ! But I trust Margo with closed eyes ! I loved Sunset, but my question is, if it was so financially disastrous for Webber, why is he so keen on making the movie ?

Posted: 7/21/05 at 7:55pmWhile his Really Useful Company was sole producer of the stage show, Webber doesn't have any of his own money in the movie, so why shouldn't he want to see it made? He'll get royalties from a film, plus the profits from the soundtrack album and it'll raise the profile of the show making it more likely to be produced.

Rags!
The Shortest running show that won the most Tony's!
Rags didn't win any Tonys.

Little Women was one of my favorites- I thought it was a gorgeous show and don't see why it didn't last a little while longer, C'mon! There's a draw there, its LITTLE WOMEN- I would think every eight year old and her mom would be there.
And it pains me to admit it, but I HIGHLY enjoyed Good Vibrations.

Posted: 7/22/05 at 2:25amIf She Loves Me counts then yes (im not sure how well it did) if that doesnt count then id say Rags or Scarlet Pimprenel.

Martin Guerre
I suppose The Witches of Eastwick counts 
The US version of Taboo sounds fun from the CD, but I still prefer the (successful) London production
