Ragtime
Wishful thinking?

It should have been PETER PAN in 2004 for the 50th anniversary of the musical and 100th anniversary of the play.
I'm hoping for PARADE.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 4/1/06 at 12:46amI do too. Which is probably good. For my health.

Posted: 4/1/06 at 12:49amI'm hoping for PARADE, and think it has a better shot than many other musicals...yet for some reason I have a gut feeling it will be MISS SAIGON.

Many of our friends, family and neighbors are in desperate need of health care services and other life-saving programs, but with cutbacks in government dollars , these programs are often under-funded. Now, more than ever, your donations are needed to support organizations providing HIV/AIDS awareness, prevention education, counseling and testing and care services for people living with HIV/AIDS.

Don't they tend to do slightly older things? Chess was 88 and Hair was 68-they may do something from the 70s this time around.
Grease could be fun, but they may not do it so close to the revival, although I'm not really sure when that's happening.
Carrie would be brilliant. Maybe you were kidding Zoneace but I'd love it-as long as they make a recording and preserve it!

Posted: 4/2/06 at 10:24amI would adore a URINETOWN Actors Fund Concert.

Posted: 4/2/06 at 1:10pmthis is a weird suggestion, and not something i particularly want to happen but would they be likely to do... Into the Woods?
[title of show] on Broadway. it's time. believe.

Posted: 4/2/06 at 1:25pmHow about On the Town? Althought they just did a Comden and Green production last year, its still so much fun and you can get a real great cast for it.
Happy...Everything!

Oh man, I would LOVE to see Raul play the pimp in Miss Saigon!
I can't remember. When do they usually anounce the show? Is it around July or August?

Posted: 4/2/06 at 5:21pmI think it might be September, because I couldn't make it this year because of school. But I'm not totally sure.

Posted: 4/2/06 at 6:02pmBut when do they usually announce the show? I know the show is in September, but I thought they announce it around June and August.
