"Flops" you were lucky enough to see — Page 7

The "flop" term seems alittle broad here so I'll go with something that closed in under a month that I talk about all the time. Fascinating Rhythm. Practically that entire cast has become stars in their own right. They're all either Tony nominees (Patrick Wilson, Orfeh, Michael Berresse), and/or winners (Sara Ramirez, Adriane Lennox). It was Gershwin for crissake, with some seriously incredible singers and there was a tap number, what more could you want?

I'll go with TARZAN, as well. Is a show that plays a year and a few months a bonified FLOP?
I absolutely loved it. Loved the MUSIC and will forever be in love with Josh Strickland.

I attended the first performance of Mack and Mabel at its pre-Broadway stop at the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion in Los Angeles. At the time, Student Tickets were $2.00, for which they gave us horrible seats in the balcony.

As soon as we sat down, we checked out the orchestra seating and saw that there were some blocks that were vacant, so we moved down (we were young then and had no fear!)

We sat in the very last row and Jerry Herman was sitting a few seats down from us.

At intermission, I told him that the show was very good (again, no fear!) I lied to him -- It was a mess. Staging was awful -- too much action with no focus. Loved the music though.

High Fidelity. Twice. And say what you will, but I LOVED it and HATE that it closed so soon....

I also saw Tarzan, although I don't consider myself "lucky" for having seen it...

DRACULA!!! It was so gloriously, wonderfully awful.
