| Among London shows that were not successful I also enjoy Make Me An Offer, Virtue In Danger, Passion Flower Hotel, and especially On the Level. Among London shows that were successful, but never came to Broadway, I enjoy Blitz!, Charlie Girl, and, of course, Robert and Elizabeth. | |

| Oh, from time to time I break down and acknowledge my lack of appreciation for Robert and Elizabeth. To me it screams flop, and not in a good way. I know it was a hit in London, despite mixed reviews, many of them dismissive and downright caustic. It surely would have been a massive flop on Broadway had it managed to get there. And I do know the story. | |

| Oh, I quite agree that Robert and Elizabeth would have failed on Broadway in the Sixties. Sixties Broadway didn't do operettas. But I do love many of the songs still, and they really wowed me when I was 15! | |

| I think if I had heard it first when I was much younger, I would have more fondness for it than I do, so I understand. :) | |
