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

I 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 ?

While 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.

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.

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
