Title: Entertaining and informative
Product review: This book pulls no punches when talking about broadway flops, which range from complete disasters ("Kelly," "Merlin," "Portofino," and, of course, "Carrie: The Musical") to shows that should have worked to ideas that should never have been attempted. Thankfully, though, the book doesn't just dwell on what made the shows bad. It also gives credit where credit is due -- if there was anything good, that is.I only two complaints, neither of which are major. First, this book is that it could use an update -- notorious recent flops such as "Nick & Nora," "Seussical," "Dance of the Vampires," and Paul Simon's "The Capeman" are missing. Secondly, there are many shows that never made it to Broadway for previews that are included in the book of "Broadway flops." While these shows do have their place, I wonder if their inclusion was necessary.
