Hi all!

I went to New York City when I was in middle school somewhere from 2003-2006 around Thanksgiving-Christmastime. My uncle took my cousins and me, and I don't remember much of it. However, I do remember that we saw a play/musical. I would very much like to know the name of the show, but I can only remember a few things!

I'm not sure if it was Broadway/off-Broadway, but I remember there was something about a girl who got pregnant and was kicked out of her home. One thing I distinctly remember (being in middle school and all) was that someone in her family pulled down a window shade and it said the word "whore" and her crying as she left. I think she was a dancer or performer or something. Anyway, I think there was something about a butterfly (maybe she was called a butterfly?) and "Brooklyn" keeps popping in my head but I don't know if I'm making that relation up. I think at the end the girl dies or commits suicide or something. Not sure if it was super appropriate for a middle schooler, but that was my uncle for ya.

Anyway, if this rings a bell to anyone and you have even a hint or an idea of what this show might be, please let me know! I've been wondering for years!!

Thank you!

That's what I was thinking, too. It was wrong for ANY of us to have to see it.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

One of the worst shows I've ever seen.

Some thing are best forgotten.

Thank you! I had found that one earlier but wasn't 100% sure if it was the right one!

Yeah, the show was not great from what I remember! And from your responses, that saves me from going back and watching it again! :) Thanks everyone!

You don't have to worry about making that mistake as BROOKLYN: The Musical closed on Broadway on June 26, 2005.

You don't have to worry about seeing it again. It closed quickly and no one would ever dream of reviving it.
