While ample material on hit Broadway musicals is readily available, detailed critical information on musical flops has been difficult to come by. Mandelbaum's informative and entertaining survey of almost 200 musical flops from 1950 to 1990 fills the void admirably. Framed by the 1988 megaflop Carrie , which theater buffs still speak of in hushed tones, the shows are presented thematically rather than chronologically, thus better underscoring the reasons for failure. While Mandelbaum can be scathing about mediocre material, he carefully analyzes each show, pointing out both problems and strengths, and demonstrates a keen insight into Broadway musical history. Brief synopses and fascinating backstage gossip combine with intelligent criticism and well-chosen illustrations to make this study a required addition to all theater collections. Highly recommended. Mr. Mandelbaum has seen nearly everything and is not easily taken in.Justified affection for worthy scenes, wisely tempered by shrewd analysis.Mr. Mandelbaum has a very good ear that leads him to champion scores that have had smaller cult followings.As befits the subject, Not Since Carrie is full of entertaining backstage reportage.The illustrations are also fun and wittily chosen, whether embarrassing production photos or sadly hopeful posters and advertising. identify ...
