I HEARTILY AGREE with all of the above titles, except for one:

THE BAKER'S WIFE. Ugh! I saw it in Boston, and with the exception of Teri Ralston's opening number, I thought the entire show was atrocious. and laughable at times.

PEW-RINA!

Taboo

"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

I've seen Secret Garden mentioned as a flop onhere before, but surely it and Grand Hotel don't fall into the flop category that something like Doll's Life did. I saw both on tour where they seemed to do well and they had fairly lengthy New York runs (though of coursethat doesn't mean they recouped)

I never got to see this show on Broadway, but I did see some promotional video. I'm talking about Valerie Harper's "Looped." It was FUnny! from RC in Austin, Texas

"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

The Full Monty. Thought it was funnier than the Producers. Never got the solid reviews and great word-of-mouth.

A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.

Add me to the Triumph of Love fan club!

And the London production of The Baker's Wife was mostly beautiful!

Bakers Wife has Schwartz' best score I think, although I don't think too much of the additions made for London (or new lyrics), and it seems like from building up the village aspect they made the focus of the show even worse (Trevor Nunn has said after his production he thinks it would work best as a small cast chamber or TV musical...)
