Other then ANNIE, DROOD, and CINDERELLA (which may or may not be considered a revival), are there any other musical revivals being talked about for next season?
Trust me, CINDERELLA will be considered a revival.
INTO THE WOODS is rumored to be coming to Broadway after it's run in the park as well as John Doyle's MERRILY.

Sweeney Todd with Michael Ball and Imelda Staunton is rumoured to transfer to Broadway next year.
On The Twentieth Century is floating around somewhere too.
Now this is getting interesting.
The list of possibilities:
ANNIE, CINDERELLA, THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD, SWEENEY TODD, MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG, INTO THE WOODS and ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.

SWEENEY TODD, MERRILY *and* INTO THE WOODS?
The producers of Merrily should stay far away this season, there is no way they could compete for the audience or Tony awards..
Jekyll & HYDE will be revived following the national tour in Spring of 2013, for a limited engagement with Constantine Maroulis and Deborah Cox.
Remember whatever ENCORES is presentin always has a chance...though that may have changed after the financal disastor that FINIANS RAINBOW was , although i loved the production.
Dont forget about the 60th annivsery production of THE KING AND I
I have it on good authority that KING AND I isn't happening.
I'd be ok if King and I didnt happen! And I agree, while i LOVE all the sondheim in the world, Merrily should wait if both Sweeney and Woods are coming in.

I'm pretty sure Merrily isn't transferring it's just someones pipe dream.
I Remember hearing/reading somewhere about Antonio Banderas in "Zorba the Greek". Anyone know anything about that one?

If Sweeney, Woods, and Merrily are on Broadway the same season, all I will need is for Lea Michele to lose her voice, and I can die happy.

I WANT INTO THE WOODS!!!!!! And possibly Sweeney Todd, but I want to see it here at my school this summer
And if they can get the money together, FUNNY GIRL.
Zorba with Banderas has been mentioned for--it feels like--3 or 4 years, I canb't imagine anything happening anytime soon.
Is Roundabout's Dancin' revival completely dead after being "postponed" this season?
I'd imagine so. Isn't this the second time it was postponed?
Though I'm not really a fan of Lea Michele, I think the producers are going to wait until she becomes available before mounting the Funny Girl revival. She's a name, she can sing, she's been on Broadway, and has a built in fan base from Glee. It's just a shame she can't act...
^ wait.... she can sing?
Well, the auto-tune helps a lot. She's a good (re: popular) singer in the way Justin Bieber is a good (re: popular) singer, which isn't saying very much.
