in 1930, at the Duchess Theatre, "The Intimate Revue" over-ran by so much on opening night that it was eventually abandoned and the rest of the run cancelled. Not even one complete performance.

Yep
Spring Awakening and Drowsy were big flops hardly running very long
Sunset Blvd (original production)
Ghost
Plus many shows that have played the Shaftesbury before Hairspray
