	1600 Pennsylvania Avenue (musical) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, a musical with book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Leonard Bernstein, was a legendary Broadway flop in 1976, running only seven performances at the Mark Hellinger Theatre.
		Though many do not consider 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to rank with the best work of its esteemed composer and lyricist/librettist, the score is considered by many musical theatre historians and aficionados to be the contemporary equivalent of a forgotten treasure (if not a guilty pleasure).
		The show's only significant revival to date was a 1992 Indiana University production, which used a pre-Philadelphia draft of the script, and included portions of Bernstein's music that had been excised on the road to Broadway.
