"I said it before and I'll say it again... Worst pop musical to ever be written and produced on Broadway. That's why it failed. Not because of an irrelevant gossip columnist. Give me a break"
It *was* a mess, though I think the London DVD largely plays really well. But worst pop musical? Not counting jukebox shows like Good Vibrations, that surely isn't true. I mean we can start with Got Tu Go Disco and move up from there....

"Well of course Rocky Horror, in its original incarnation, received raves. Lou Adler made the film, then came the shows again."
I think the cult that grew around the film really helped it. Everyone wanted to participate in a midnight showing of Rocky Horror and do the whole audience participation routine.
