What Broadway "flop" would you like to see revived?

Flop could be subjectively defined in many ways. However, for this particular discussion, let's define a flop as 300 performances or less excluding previews.

There is no correct subjective definition. A flop is a show that does not return money to its investors. The end.

There are many, many productions that opened as limited engagements anticipating fewer than 300 performances that were commercial smashes. As CATSNYrevival wrote, a flop is a show that failed to recoup its initial investment costs—it's not really a subjective definition.

But if I had to answer (off the top of my head)... Honeymoon in Vegas.

Most definitely Vegas

Superman also comes to mind.

I am beginning to believe it's not a true BroadwayWorld.com message board post unless somebody corrects you within the first three responses.

Luvcaroline, I have often thought about it in Circle also. Ever since Fun Home opened. With the right star...
