Okay, the Spirtas DVD is officially up for preorder right now. Spread the word, and Dakota anything you can do to get it on the Days' boards would be great.

I am off to sweet talk Dawn.... :-)

She would still like to do an interview with Matt...

I've ordered my copy!

If I had your e-mail address, you should get the e-blast. If not, send me your e address and I'll send you the cover art.

We've had our first order - our very own George. Ninety-nine signed copies left.

Well, I must go now. I have some rooms to clean up and some dishes to do and a whole bunch of stuff that just needs to get done around the house. Later!

Reading all of the other DRs choices for favorite flop shows makes me hang my head in shame for not mentioning them: MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG, ASSASSINS, DEAR WORLD, GREENWILLOW. All of them favorites containing some of my all-time favorite songs, too.

Yes, ALL AMERICAN was a flop (80 performances), Charles Pogue, as was HAZEL FLAGG (though HAZEL had something of a run, it still closed in the red after 190 performances).

I'm back from the wilds of Indiana. My dad, his lady friend, my brother and sister-in-law are having a wonderful time and I was happy to share part of my day with them. Tonight I think I'll step out and see if any friends are free for a visit.

Matt H. · « **Reply #129 on:** July 08, 2006, 03:19:20 PM »

I did not receive DECEIT today, so I'll look for it early next week. (I really didn't think it would get to me today.)

TOD - my favorite flop musical is The Grass Harp, which had its pre-Broadway run at the then-new Power Center for the Performing Arts at The University of Michigan. It was my junior year and my friend Doug and I attended the gala opening.

I cannot believe I forgot THE GRASS HARP, the 1956 CANDIDE, and ANYONE CAN WHISTLE!

I finished YOLANDA AND THE THIEF this afternoon. I can see why this musical fantasy didn't catch on with an audience right after the war was over.

But Harry Warren wrote two tremendous songs for this film: the achingly beautiful "Angel" and the wonderful swing number "Coffee Time." At Minnelli went kind of overboard with all the outrageous art direction (very Dali-esque).

Most who have my Unsung Musicals series know that Smile is a particular favorite of mine, especially Disneyland, the title song, and Shine (which I would have recorded on a subsequent UM's album if there'd been one).

elmore, did you know we recorded one other song from Carnival of Flanders - it wasn't as good as Rainy Day, but it was catchy and fun. I think Debbie Gravitte did it, but I might be wrong about that.

I forgot about the Debbie Gravitte song! It's called something like "THAT MAN IS DOING HIS WORST TO BE GOOD."

After I finished YOLANDA, I saw the production of BABY I was in on a tape, so I stuck that in and watched some of the numbers.

Yep, another score from a flop musical that has really wonderful songs.

DR Ginny, have fun on Ebay! I am an ebay addict and very proud! And I differ from BK in that I tend to bid as soon as I find an item I want. I just put in my highest bid and if I get it, I get it if I am outbid then there will likely be another of the same item along the way someday...of course it all depends on what kind of items you are bidding on.

I do it this way too. I win some and lose some that way, but I don't pay more than I was willing to pay.

You're right. Except that BK wrote, "Today’s topic of discussion: What is your all-time favorite flop musical score, and what is your all-time favorite song from a flop musical?"

He didn't specify "flop Broadway score."

You're right and I'm a moron! Spoo!

DR CharlesPogue, I too loathe the DONNYBROOK score. And WHOOP-UP.

Come to think of it I can see why some got theirs also, NYC is a huge sorting center for the US mail for the northeast and she lives in North Jersey near the big apple and that would explain why she got hers already.

Then how do you explain George not getting his copy today? George lives in Washington, which is just north of California.

Cilla, I hear you.. Fargo is not much better...

BTW, is it really dry down there also? We are on watering restrictions.

Dakota, the whole summer has been a bit strange. Lots of rain in one spot and none a couple miles away. It's pretty dry over all

Dorothy Loudon's version of But You Go On. She was singing this song despite knowing the show was bombing and not going on to Broadway. What a great performer she was. She is missed.

I always regretted that Dorothy Loudon never had a commercial release of her great song "Sur Les Quais de Ramsdale Vermont" from LOLITA, MY LOVE.

I know one gal was going to watch it this evening and within the next few days, the comments will trickle in....

Cilla, i suspect we will be the last for some odd reason it always takes longer for Minneapolis is a hub for sorting mail in this part of hte country

Ours doesn't go through Minneapolis. We actually have a sorting station here. The postal service is thinking of shutting it down. On Saturdays our mail goes through someplace else, so it's longer delivery if it's over the weekend. Goofy but true

TCB, you did indeed order just in the nick of time. We have but seven signed copies left of Deceit. However, we have ninety-nine copies of the Kevin Spirtas DVD, so let's get some orders. Even if you have the CD, it's nothing like seeing it - he's really electric and the DVD is shot very well and it's really fun plus it has a most amusing commentary track. Orders, baby, orders.

Salt Lake city fan just got her copy and her family teased her about it...

Northern Jersey and NYC fans have gotten... I am suspecting that the SoCal area fans got theirs also.. Have not heard from STeph yet...

No word yet from Florida, KY, Massachusetts, DC, Colorado, NY state, Washington, Michigan, Tennessee, oregon, Georgia, Missouri, Mississippi, Iowa, Ohio, Texas, Illinois, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Minnesota....

I suspect the Canadians and the UK one will be a bit later.

Kind of sounds like Howard Dean when he was leaving Iowa YEEEAAH

I have been trying to figure out the trivia question. I went on a certain track which had some possibilities but it hit a dead end.

Great series of questions. This one is really hard. Not sure if I am going to be able to figure out.

So BK if you don't get a lot of answers at least know that I am trying to figure it out.

I went down several tracks earlier today, but got stuck each time. I"m going to go back to it a little later...I"m still trying

I had no idea what I was doing, since I had never entered before. But, I was determined to submit a set of answers rather than run the risk of BK stopping the Trivia Question.

This afternoon I finally got around to watching my special edition DVD of Liza with a Z and some of the bonus tracks.

MattH: Did you mean to order the CD of Kevin or the DVD? If it's the CD you're fine. If it's the DVD, cancel the payment and place the order again by clicking on the DVD cover on the splash page (be sure it's the DVD cover - AOL may still be caching the page with the CD, which isn't on the updated splash page anymore).
