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.

The original merrily we roll along, by far my favorite Sondheim musical, can't understand why it flopped so hard...

The 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.

For 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

I think I've seen/listened to mostly flops all my life XD
