Publisher Description

Not Since Carrie is Ken Mandelbaum's brilliant survey of Broadway's biggest flops. This highly readable and entertaining book highlights almost 200 musicals created between 1950 and 1990, framed around the notorious musical adaptation of Carrie, and examines the reasons for their failure. "Essential and hilarious," raves The New Yorker, and The New York Times calls the book "A must-read."

At Last!!

Absolutely one of the best books on musical theatre ever written. Highly entertaining to read, well researched, and a fascinating look at shows that didn’t succeed on Broadway -and why. My print copy is so worn from rereading that it’s falling apart. A must-read for anyone interested in the theatre!
