Hey there,

Just wondering what some of the best songs in your opinion are from FLOP musicals?

Some of mine include

"You are the Light" from Metropolis
"It Would Have Been Wonderful" from Annie Warbucks
and
"Stop, Time" from Big

other thoughts?

if little women is a flop which i would guess it is-"somethings are meant to be"
BIG-"stars" well i like it
the most recent 1776 revival did not do well but "Molasses to rum to slave" is a great song and especially when u have gregg edleman singing it.
