Pal Joey was actually a success the first time around (1940), as well as the second (1952), though the revival did run longer than the original. But Candide really did fail in 1956, but was a big hit in revival in 1974. That revival, though, was a radical revision of the original. There may have been musicals that flopped the first time around and then were hits in revival in substantially the same form, but I'm not thinking of any off the top of my head, and the list can't be a long one in any case. There are probably more plays than musicals that succeeded in revival after failing originally. Morning's At Seven would be one.
