I went to IBDB to look up Rachel Lily Rosenbloom...
It closed after 7 previews at the Broadhurst, December 1, 1973. Which incidentally, was the day I saw my first Broadway show. "Irene" with Debbie Reynolds. Not exactly a train wreck.

Rathnait--I think as musical fans part of the appeal is most of these shows are done by professionals--they may be trainwrecks but the majority listed on here were ever *boring* that's why I think flop musicals hold more cult status over most flop plays--a wrongly conceived play often will just be dull.

AH! I saw Rue in wicked, that was kind of a train wreck.
I would have like too have seen dance of the vampire, i have only heard some songs sung in german but I think it sounds great.

woooooh Our House wassn't even close to been a flop,it won best musical at the L.O awards and had a good run in London,its also one of the best musicals ive seen in years
>> Got To Go To Disco
Technically (and more fabulously), it's Got 2 Go Disco.
Saw Rachel & Disco - Doubly dreadful. Liked DOTV
Do not think you can say The Act was a train wreck. I was Minnelli in her prime. I saw it & it was like she was doing a night club act

Wasn't it actually "Got tu go disco"??? WHich is even more bizarre :P
E
It was GOT TU GO DISCO
You're right. I stand corrected.
CARRIE goes without saying but I have also wanted to see VIA GALACTICA because I never miss a Sir Peter Hall/Irene Cara musical.

I saw THE ACT and it wasn't memorable the way a real train wreck should be. It was just an ill-conceived framework for Liza to sing and dance.
The Times They Are A Changing.
Dracula {it opened on my birthday.}
"AH! I saw Rue in wicked, that was kind of a train wreck. "
She played DRUNK the whole time, that screams TRAIN WRECK.
