| The Life was certainly not a flop, certainly not a "short" run... but it has had almost no life in America since Broadway (the less said about the recent Encores revision the better). It's an incredible and fabulous score given a fantastic original cast album... and since I discovered it in 1998, I have no idea how many times I've listened to it or sung to it in the car. It's hard to count shows that were at non-profits for short scheduled runs... but Women on the Verge was on Broadway and has had little life in America since. A wonderful score. Dessa Rose was off-broadway at LCT but given that it's Ahrens & Flaherty, and what I consider easily in their top 3 scores (their new show I haven't heard yet)... I think it counts for this subject. It's an incredible score. And of course famous flop Rags hasn't had much life since. Nor was The Rothschilds, which has a fabulous score too. |
