Instead, Schwartz and librettist John Caird continued to work on the show. Used to be, that would have meant it was a flop. Stephen Schwartz, who wrote the songs for Godspell and collaborated with Leonard Bernstein on Mass, returned to religious subject matter with the musical Children of Eden, which ran for only 103 performances in London in 1991, though it produced a cast album. In a sense, there are no flops anymore, only shows that haven't been sufficiently revised and reproduced enough times to become hits yet. The greater risks and opportunities, however, tend to eliminate finality. Today, things are much more complicated: Shows don't even have to open on Broadway to be successful. But that was back in the days when there were a lot of Broadway shows, they didn't cost as much money to produce, and money was easier to raise.
Hits were shows that opened on Broadway and ran long enough to turn a profit flops were everything else.
