It wouldn't actually be a revival (though if it were to happen, it might be considered one), but Children of Eden is a very good show that might work on Broadway with a great director and a solid cast. Great score that is very personal and can really get to you, and with a little work on the 2nd act, it'd be great, I think.

Baby (with some re-orchestrations. Maybe with a small orchestra rather than an '80's synth. And Sutton Foster)
Into The Woods!
And not exactly a revival, but Zanna, Don't needs to open on Broadway.
Bat Boy would be nice....
I would love to see a revival of Hair, but I don't think it would do very well. The Vietnam War doesn't strike a chord with the current generation as it did with the last one.
Also, it's high time for West Side Story to go back to Broadway. If the NCSA production is any indication, it will be well received.
Showboat
Another vote for West Side Story
Twelfth Night
Was In the Heat of the Night, ever done on stage?
To Kill a Mockingbird is at Stratford-Canada right now but would like it in SFrancisco too!
Musicals:
On the Twentieth Century - It's such a great score. Hopefully with the original production which was amazing.
Plays:
The Royal Family
Sweet Bird of Youth
Another Part of the Forest (Prequel to The Little Foxes)
Dracula (with the Edward Gorey Sets)
MAME!!!!!!!
A Little Night Music
Black and Blue
Call Me Madam
Redhead?
A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC, but I'd love to see Doyle direct.
I think his style would be a really interesting fit that show.
There was a televised version of Applause - I don't recall it much. I'd have to say of the Tony winners I've seen or whose cast recordings I've listened to, it ranks down there with Big River.
I'm curious about Two Gentlemen of Verona. Never saw it - never heard it. Don't even know why it won over Follies and Grease.
Similarly, I'm curious about Redhead and was it really completely dependent on Gwen Verdon?
What about Hugh Jackman in George M! (There's also a televised version of this show, which I saw along with the stage production with Joel Grey out in LA)
Anyone for Kismet with Brian Stokes Mitchell and Kelli O'Hara?
A Little Night Music! Patti as Desiree? Anyone?
I'd like to see ...
West Side Story
Dreamgirls
Mame
A little Night Music
and Definitely Chess!

BTW, Clara's Pony- I love your screenname!
I Think Instead of New Revivals Of Old Musical They Should Just Open Up New But Identical Productions of Wicked At Diffrent Theatres Aroudn The City, Kind Of Like Starbucks.
Just Kidding, In All Seriousness Though...
Promises, Promises
Hello Dolly - With Dolly Parton
and City of Angels (Which Was Before My Time and I Honestly Know Nothing About But It Sounds Intresting Enough So I Say What The Hell)

"If the NCSA production is any indication, it will be well received."
