Broadway Musicals

It happens every season: Broadway has one, two, or a few hit musicals, but many, many more flops. This book takes a look at the extreme cases from each season of the past half-century, from hits like "The Sound of Music," "The Phantom of the Opera" and  "The Producers" to flops like "Via Galactica," "The Civil War" and "Lestat." Broadway is the oldest established permanent non-floating crap game in New York, and Peter Filichia takes a look at 100 shows that met either the most glorious or the most ignominious fates.
