I wonder if there was ever a show that never finished its first performance and closed after.

Glory Days comes to mind.

I heard Hughie was only 40-45 minutes long. Is that true? (I skipped it). If so, I definitely can't think of any shorter than that.
In terms of ones I've seen on Broadway, I can't remember which one was THE shortest, but Old Times, Fool For Love and Constellations all hovered around 65-75 minutes. The shortest professional show I've seen was "Bull" in London - something like 50-55 minutes

The shortest standalone professional play I've ever seen was Caryl Churchill's Drunk Enough to Say I Love You at the Public. It was 40 minutes start to finish.
Mamet's The Anarchist was about 65 minutes long.

GLORY DAYS didn't finish its one performance??

Weren't there a few billboards in NYC that advertised the play, ART, with the tagline: "If you had seen ART, you'd be home by now."?
