What about that "Skin Of Our Teeth" musical?

They Shoot Horses Don't They? (yeah, I know "Steel Pier", but for a long time they discussed Horses as a musical)

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Although it did run in several different forms in the UK and on tour in the US, Boublil and Schonberg's Martin Guerre was never able to make it to Broadway (at least as of now).

Buskers/Busker Alley. It had a few other titles, too, right?

Audra in "A Star Is Born"?

Last I heard anything about it was back around the time of "Sunset Blvd." Lloyd-Webber was going to produce it and it was supposed to star Judy Kuhn and Christopher Cazenove.

In a similar vein, wasn't there a stage version planned of "The Band Wagon" with a book by Wendy Wasserstein?

There once was a musical called "Fresh Air Taxi" based on Amos & Andy but, as expected, it never got off the ground.

Busker Alley did but when Tommy Tune broke his foot there went the show

Nothing to humor. That show never came here. What did was the Michael Crawford Anti Phantom Alledged Comedy Musical
