Description: A NEW, UNREAD, UNMARKED PAPERBACK COPY OF:NOT SINCE CARRIE, 40 YEARS OF BROADWAY FLOPSby Ken Mandelbaum If you think you're a Broadway musical lover and you haven't got this encyclopedia of flops, don't call yourself a musical fan. It's absolutely essential to read it, and more than once. The book is accurate and full of engrossing details; it's rich in photographs of shows, playbills and interpreters; it's written in a very simple way which makes it entertaining and fast reading. However, humor (quite black, sometimes) is its most conspicuous characteristic. As I often read in subways and buses, I've sometimes felt quite embarrased because I burst out laughing so loud. Somehow you may feel sorry for all those creators who thought they were coming out with a work of art but became the greatest turkeys of all times instead. Some other times you'll feel sad to know that some real good musicals with wonderful scores such as RAGS, CARMELINA or THE BAKER'S WIFE couldn't make it in the Big Apple. For sure, you'll get double pleasure if you have ever listened to some of the musicals cited in the book, although many of them did not even reach the recording stage. No doubt about it: it's a fascinating, hilarious and amazing chronicle on musical disasters that you can't miss and that you'll read thoroughly in one single day: you simply can't put it down.
