I was there that night as well, and couldn't agree more. Absolutely thrilling night of theatre, and a brilliant show. I was so sad to see it close, though happy that the Little Engine That Could made it to Broadway at all. 

I will also throw in votes for Bright Star, Tuck Everlasting, Shuffle Along, and the Deaf West Spring Awakening - shame they never found their audiences.

And a guilty pleasure vote for All Shook Up. It shouldn't exactly win the Pulitzer, but I will listen to that vocal arranging all day long.

Gaveston, your list of flops you've loved most fills me with warm waves of envy, for shows I never got to see, especially for gems like KING OF HEARTS which may have been a minor work but had perhaps the most brilliant set design from Santo Loquasto ever put on a Broadway stage. 

One rarity on your list I did manage to catch was the Boston iteration of THE BAKER'S WIFE. Sadly, not even Patti LuPone's rendering of Meadowlark could make that turkey of a show get airborne for me.

Could be reading this wrong, but are you saying title of show was written by wildhorn?

Ghost and Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark. (Although I think Spider-Man should've been an arena tour instead of a Broadway show.)

I couldn't agree more. That was such a great show and the two of them really complemented each other. Such a colorful production with catchy songs. I don't know how it wasn't more popular with the Aaron Tveit in the lead.

American Psycho is the biggest heartbreak for me. A thrilling. Unique, exciting and original style musical.

Adding to the American Psycho crowd. Loved it and wish they could have found an audience.

Others would be Deaf West's Spring Awakening and It Shoulda Been You. I never cared for SA but the Deaf West production was gorgeous, and It Shoulda Been You had some fantastic comedic performances and was just a lot of fun.
