I love me a good flop musical... Here's just a few of my favorites:
THE LITLLE MERMAID
BIG
SMILE
CARRIE
TABOO
LEADER OF THE PACK
IS THERE LIFE AFTER HIGH SCHOOL
DANCE OF THE VAMPIRES
If I had to pick a top flop .... I would go with CARRIE. I actually do see potential there. Not that I don't see potential in the others, its just my favorite.

"Every Sondheim show besides the 2005 Sweeney revival."
? The 05 Sweeney revival is not the only Sondheim production that has recouped...

9 to 5
Toxic Avenger-Is that considered a flop? I have no clue how long it ran or how well it did.

Posted: 5/23/10 at 5:19pmThe original merrily we roll along, by far my favorite Sondheim musical, can't understand why it flopped so hard...

Posted: 5/23/10 at 6:13pmThe 2003 Gypsy revival was a flop, right? If so, that's definitely my pick.

THE WOMAN IN WHITE --
*Sweeping romantic score and gothic storyline
*Probable TONY nods for Maria Friedman and Michael Ball
*The computerized sets were cool ( especially the on-coming train
)

I guess my favorite "flop" was DEAR WORLD. I really loved it.
A close second would be SARAVA.

My favorite was The Play What I Wrote with Hamish McColl and Sean Foley. I assume it was a flop, it wasn't around very long. Laughed the whole show. The special guest was Eric McCormack.
My second favorite was a remake of Golden Boy with Valerie Simpson which I saw out of town but didn't make it to Broadway.

Posted: 5/25/10 at 5:59amFor me it was Xanadu, I thought the play was 90 minutes of fun, action and sheer enjoyment, sure do wish I could have seen it a second time before it closed
