In each episode of FLOP FAN, host Casey Miko and a special guest discuss our favorite musicals that lost money on Broadway or the West End. What is it that we love about the show? Why didn't the show work commercially? Have they found a new life in regional/community theater? We love these shows, and we want to see them succeed!
