CORRECTION: San Francisco kills another musical

First Lennon, now the Mambo Kings.

When we don't like something, we clearly have influence!

Oh yeah, other cities tried to kill Christina Applegate's Sweet Charity, but they didn't have what it takes.

It took both Chicago and DC to kill Sondheim's Bounce.

But we, all on our own, have killed a few Broadway-bound musicals in our time.

Didn't see it. Can't comment on whether it's deserved or not. Esai Morales is yummy and Justine Machado is very talented. I guess that just wasn't enough.

Anyone out there see it?

Agree? Disagree?

CORRECTION: As Russ points out in the comments, reports of Lennon's death (like mine) are high exaggerated. Lennon is, as it happens, still making it to Broadway, in fact starting previews this week. So now I'm wracking my brain because I just know there was another Broadway-bound musical that never made it past San Francisco in the last couple of years, and I just can't think of what I was thinking of.

That would have been a great scoop indeed, but no, I was just wrong.
