A show is considered a flop if it closed at a loss. It's merely a financial term. Despite winning several Tonys and running for a few years, THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE was a flop.

Seussical was indeed a flop. ITW wasn't I guess but I wasn't sure.

And No, Jay Johnson was not meant to be experimental. It was planning to run at least a year or two.

Those who keep saying CARRIE, do you know the show?

It is and was horrible!

The Woman In White

followed by:

Carrie!

...What happened next, was stranger still, a woman breathless and afraid, appeared out of the night, completely dressed in white. She had a secret she would tell, of one who had mistreated her. Her face and frightened gaze, my mind cannot erase...But then she ran from view. She looked so much like you...

How to properly use its/it's: Its is the possessive. It's is the contraction for it is...

Mack and Mabel
Aspects of Love (yeah, yeah, I know...)

Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)

I was fortunate to have seen CARRIE in May 1988, so yes...I know how the show is and was. It was simply sensational and horrible at the same time and the audience LOVED it -- for all the good and bad reasons. Just by the way they had the entire auditorium painted pitch black, you knew this was going to be a fun ride. And it was.

The Carrie/Margaret White moments stood out as sheer gems in this mess, but the rest was just a lot of campy fun -- like "Do Me a Favor" and of course, Charlotte (d'Amboises)'s masterpiece: "Out for Blood" which was hard to watch with your mouth closed. It was one of those classic "what the fu*k?!" moments in life.

The show was doing SRO during previews, so it WAS selling tickets (Betty Buckley even confirmed this). Due to the horrid reviews, the novice German producers panicked and decided to close the show quickly. They could have run for a few more months just by the advance in ticket sales alone.

Too late and too bad.

Sweeney revival recouped in record time so it is not a flop by that standard.

Was Pimpernel a flop? It lasted long enough for me to see it twice so it must have played for a while.

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
