minnie2007 is on a distinguished road
Default success
Please I need your help with this:

The show was not a big success/ a great success
the show did not record a big success
the show did not have success /great success

In other words, I have to translate the concept of a show not having success (of course!!!!!!) but I don't know how to pur it.

Thanks

Options 1 and 3 work fine. Option 2 is passable, but not as good.
