| I'm more familiar with London hits that flopped in New York than the other way around. Two musicals that each ran more than 2,000 performances in the West End in the 1960s, Canterbury Tales and Charlie Girl, played 121 and zero performances in New York, respectively. (That is, Charlie Girl was never even tried there.) There's also a whole genre of smash-hit British farces, non-musical, that seldom work in New York even if they get produced there at all. No Sex, Please--We're British and Run For Your Wife each ran for hundreds if not thousands of performances in London, and 16 and 32 performances, respectively, in New York. | |

| 1776 the title says it all. And Alex Cohen produced the London production the flop king. The logo did get the British flag right. | |

| You can kind of understand that--it's more our history than theirs, as well as being a celebration of what was ultimately one of their greatest defeats! | |
