Good point Tkt2Ride. I'm all for including both... should I change the title of the thread? Are people even interesting in remaking this thread?

So many shows, too little time (BTW, I loved both Coram Boy, and Lieutenant of Inishmore!)

I saw 17 of the flops illustrated

Good job if I do say so myself. The oldest is Canterbury Tales.

In the old flop marquee thread (which is gone because of the recent data loss on broadwayworld), peeps posted fun older flops, like Fig Leaves Are Falling!

I think I saved some of other people's fun images... but I don't want to offend anyone by posting something that I didn't find originally...

Now now, Here I Am. Let me set you straight on this nicely, before MargoChanning comes in and whips you straight out into Central Park.

A "flop" is a show that does not recoup its initial investment. A show that did not make money. A show that lost money.

GREY GARDENS lost its entire investment, therefore it is a flop.
