It's interesting to wonder how much longer the original production of Ragtime would have run if not for Garth Drabinsky and his creative book keeping.

Both Ave Q. & Memphis had respectable runs.

Catch Me If You Can and Bonnie and Clyde. Those two shows were fantastic in my opinion. They both had great scores and extremely talented original casts too. I was surprised when they closed, should have run much longer.

I know this, but I feel that there was something special about these shows that deserved to run longer.

I would have to go with Hands on a Hard Body too. If only because they closed with one fewer performance than Scandalous. I saw the 2nd preview and it was a little rough, but That is really a show where things clearly got fixed in previews and in the end it was a lovely little show. I just wish it had run at least 2 more performances

Ave Q is still running at New World Stages. And it is fantastic.

Yeah, Avenue Q is going on 10 years of almost continuous run in New York (original Off Broadway + Broadway + NWS)...I can't imagine how anyone could say it hasn't had a long-enough run.

Ragtime -- the original was magical and amazing!

RAGS saw it in Boston and loved it. It just didn't seem to catch
