Since I started this thread, I'l answer a few questions that have been posed:

"Caroline, or Change" and "Parade" are both flops.

"The Last 5 Years" is not. It had a limited run and actually did quite well.

Caroline, Or Change

Mack and Mabel, Merrily We Roll Along, Big, Carrie, Smile, The Apple Tree, Seussical.
And Rathnait- STARLIGHT, though it did run for 2 and half years, never recouped it's gigantic investment nor did it get any true status on Broadway.

I'm also not sure if "The Apple Tree" can be called a flop. It ran for about 18 months. No, it's not a classic, but I don't know if it was a flop.
It was nominated for 7 Tonys and Barbara Harris won Best Actress. I know that doesn't mean anything; just putting my two cents in.

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell plus i proudly share the title of the shortest member over the age of 10 with wickedrentq!

Without a doubt, my favorite is "Carrie." It's so awful, yet has a few truly great moments.
