Posted: 6/25/05 at 5:37pm
Hey there,

Just wondering what some of the best songs in your opinion are from FLOP musicals?

Some of mine include

"You are the Light" from Metropolis
"It Would Have Been Wonderful" from Annie Warbucks
and
"Stop, Time" from Big

other thoughts?

Thanks...that's more what I was looking for. The title of the last thread was "BEST songs from WORST shows." I'm looking for songs from Flops...financial or critical flops. not songs from shows people happen not to like...Great list Errico!!! Keep em coming!

"When I think of the era in which I was raised
And I see how the world's gone to waste,
I confess that I'm constantly shocked and amazed
At man's singular lack of good taste.

For taste is like justice - we live by her laws.
It's so easy to tell right from wrong.
Most people don't bother;
Most people are whores.
And a few bores who do, don't for long."
(The Roar of the Greasepaint...: "So many Things to remember (Repr.)")

if little women is a flop which i would guess it is-"somethings are meant to be"
BIG-"stars" well i like it
the most recent 1776 revival did not do well but "Molasses to rum to slave" is a great song and especially when u have gregg edleman singing it.
