I did this thread recently: Big West End Hits, but flopped in the Broadway?

theatreboard.co.uk/thread/1719/big-west-hits-flopped-broadway

But now have reversed the question, so what Broadway shows have gone on to flop in the West End?

The Drowsy Chaperone and Spring Awakening are the obvious two. Both incredible shows which managed less than 3 months in the West End.

Billy Joel'so Moving Out played and wet si fast no one even noticed it was here at all

Don't we get to be happy? At some point down the line, don't we get to relax without some new tsuris to push me yet further from you!

Who dare tell the lambs in Spring what fate the later season brings?

Sssh! Be very very quiet. I'm hunting wabbits!
