If I recall correctly, Suzanne Somers did a one-woman show on Broadway in 2005, called 'The Blonde in the Thunderbird' where she sang/ danced / reminisced about her 30 year career. I remember it opened in the summer for a 'limited run', but it vanished in no time, due to panning by the critics.(In other words, it wasn't exactly on par with 'Lena Horne: The Lady and Her Music'
.
Did anyone here on the forum see it? Was it as bad as the critical reviews? Was it a huge loss for the producers / investors?

It didn't vanish due to the bad reviews - it closed because of bad ticket sales.
No big loss for her as she's multi-millionaire many times over with her line of beauty products, health books and the like. She's a very wealthy woman.

It was bad, certainly, and it had not a few campy, unintentionally funny moments. But it wasn't as bad as the critics maintained. Frankly, I disliked it a lot less than many of the dull/pretentious/obnoxious opuses that they go crazy for.
Suzanne Somers was pluck and game, and gave it her all.
