Posted: 6/14/08 at 10:44pmAh...Glory Days. I wish I could have been there...and I do like the music that I have heard. I am not being cruel! Now Annie 2 and Shogun...I am being cruel. Simply abysimal.

Posted: 6/14/08 at 10:49pmI saw it on Broadway 2nd preview. Y did it close I truly feel bad for the people involved in the show it wasn't the GREATEST but I think it should of started off broadway it might of gotten a better review. Is there a CHANCE of it coming back off broadway?

Posted: 6/14/08 at 10:54pmEven folks very close to the production of Glory Days will admit the transfer was more about the adulation of its creative team (esp. the composers...and well deserved for their age and talent) then the material. A very sore topic at the Signature and elsewhere too.

The Pirate Queen.
The scenic, lighting, and costume designs were stunning, and Stephanie kicked a**, but other than those three things the show was just bad.

With Clay Aiken in Spamalot, all of Broadway is singing a collective "There! Right! There!" -Me-

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Mary Poppins is by no means a flop.
Two flops I have seen, but enjoyed:
Home Sweet Homer with Yul Brynner 1 performance
Look to the Lillies with Shirley Booth

Posted: 6/14/08 at 11:56pmThe thread asked for shows that lasted a few performances or not even opening night, not long running ones that a person does not like.

i love everything....or find something good everything.

no one is lucky to have seen glory DAY.

lets hope that show is dead, and will never come back.

Posted: 6/15/08 at 3:24amI saw Lestat 3 times including opening night (LOL I got my ticket from TKTS for like $21.50 I think) I kept going back because I liked the music a lot.

I've seen both 'The Pirate Queen' *and* 'Gone With The Wind'.
I'm so looking forward to 'Black Watch' next month. I consider it my reward. :3

Crap-o-cabana -- I mean Copacabana (the pre broadway tour that was horrific)
Thou Shalt Not (and i actually liked some of it)
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."
