Our first flop is Paul Simon's The Capeman! The Capeman is a musical play written by Paul Simon and Derek Walcott based on the life of convicted murderer Salvador Agrón. The play opened at the Marquis Theatre in 1998 to poor reviews and had an initial run of 68 performances. This was also my first Broadway show, it also made me feel really uncomfortable. Found out why! Follow me @NotPatReilly

Oh, oh sweet Christ. This is a big one. DOTV is an awful, awful show and I am too excited the whole time. There is no cast recording of the show so, the audio is from a bootleg of the OBC. Follow me @NOTPatReilly. I actually just did a video about Dance of the Vampires on my YouTube channel so, if you'd like to know more please check it out. You can find me at NotPAtReilly on YouTube.
