After watching Cruella, I couldn't help but feel a 2031 revival of A Little Night Music with Emma Stone as Desiree and Emma Thompson as Armfeldt would be incredible. Thoughts?
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

I could see that combo. Emma Thompson would be a wonderful Madame Armfeldt.
But I want my Cate Blanchett/Julie Andrews revival now!

When we learned planning for the far future is easier than assuming it will always be business as usual. I believe it was last year that this came up...

Posted: 6/4/21 at 2:56pmI’d rather we get Emma Thompson as Desiree now, but I guess they aren’t mutually exclusive since this imaginary revival would be happening in 10 years

You're not far off. Greta Gerwig has been working on a film version that is now being fast-tracked at Universal and is slated to shoot this fall. I'm told 3/5 of these deals are closed:
Cate Blanchett
Hugh Grant
Emma Stone (as Charlotte)
Oscar Isaac (as Count)
and
Julie Christie (Mme A)

"The sexual energy between the mother and son really concerns me!"-random woman behind me at Next to Normal
"I want to meet him after and bang him!"-random woman who exposed her breasts at Rock of Ages, referring to James Carpinello

Is that Andrews/Blanchett revival actually a thing or is that just a BWW dreamcast? I feel like I have been reading about that on here for years.

Emma Thompson would have made a fabulous Desiree.
Cate Blanchett and Julie Andrew’s I can TOTALLY get on board with. Wow that would be incredible.

It is an unsubstantiated rumor that Scott Rudin wanted to do it with Blanchett and Andrews, but there is no confirmation that deals were in place or that the ladies were actually enthusiastic about doing it. (There were also rumors that he was planning a production around Audra.) As with anything on Broadway, there's a huge difference between "this is happening" vs "I want this to happen."

Also, even though Sondheim/Wheeler comment on the weirdness (and non-sexual nature) of Fredrik and Anne's relationship, I do think in 2021 you can't have a Fredrik who's in his late 50s or 60s. It's too much of an age gap for modern audiences to buy and he would be viewed as lecherous and unsympathetic...he needs to be late 30s/early 40s. Which means Desiree's either older than him, or she also has to be 40s. Len Cariou was 34 (playing a little older), Glynis Johns was 50.
