Moose Murders

I was emailing my aunt yesterday, and I asked her what the worst show she ever saw on Broadway was. Her reply was "Moose Murders", but she wouldn't elaborate.

Was anyone lucky enough to see this?

I read the review for this show and there was a tap dancing mute girl and apparently everyone is dead at the beginning of act 2.

I read that too. It sounds awful. I can only imagine what it was like to watch it!

All That Chat (www.talkinbroadway.com/allthatchat)

Generally, the people on that message board are older and one of them is more likely to have seen this flop than us. However, it is definitely possible that someone on here saw it...

I remember when it opened...but I wasn't there! I have a few vague memories, one of which was reading that some poor soul got sick to his stomach during the first act...and spewed. Between that and the odor, people fled in droves. Eve Arden was either a replacement or the smart soul who left with bio intact. I'm sure it's been written about..."NOT SINCE CARRIE" perhaps.

Not Since Carrie is only about MUSICAL flops...not play flops.

Sorry...just call it a moment of senility! I guess my recollections were actual memories, and not formulated after reading about this classic show.

in my theatre crit class we had guest critics come in and all talked about this show and how it was by far the worst thing EVER on broadway.

How did it even get on stage if it's so bad?
