Tried searching for a thread on this but no luck. Personally , Brodway flops have always fascinated me. I would revive American Psycho. I thought it was an amazing time in the theatre.
What are your thoughts? What would you revive?

What are you defining as a flop, before I answer?
- didn't recoup?
-played less than X number of performances?
- critical miss?

I would say a critical miss or only lasting a few months on broadway.

Goldilocks with a revised book.
I’d love a revival of the original Side Show before the changes. And I’d be thrilled to see a production of The Life. But more than anything, I’d love to see Caroline, or Change come back because I missed it the first time and have listened to the recording so many times that I desperately want to see a production.
Count me in for Bright Star or Catch Me If You Can.
Merrily We Roll Along. I stand by my assertion that this was Sondheim's strongest score.

Ha. That was going to be my answer.
As I'm listening to my b**tleg recording of American Psycho right now I am inclined to agree. Good thing the rights are coming out any day now.
American Psycho for sure - or Groundhog Day. Both of these shows would have been the hits of the season this year.

Groundhog Day - agreed it could have been a totally different situation had it come out this year
Dance of the Vampires, but this time stay more true to the original in adaptation and don't like Crawford come within a thousand feet of the production at any point in time... or American Psycho.
I never saw Women on the Verge, but I love that cast album so much so I’d love to see if revived!

Has anyone ever admitted that a show flopped on here?
