For the third week of February Flops, the Johns take a look at a show that may not have been a flop... had it premiered 20 years earlier. While discussing Jerry Herman's maligned show "Mack and Mabel" - the pair get into the state of Broadway in the 1970s, some of the printed criticism of the show, and the orchestration choices for this misplaced Golden Age musical.
