With all the turmoil in our country, do you thinks ragtime revival would work. With full set and a star studded cast I think it could work. Maybe Brandon Victor Dixon as Coalhouse and Jake Gyllenhall as Tateh?

I just saw a production at Carnegie Mellon (full of future Broadway stars) and it was brilliant. Works perfectly for now. I wish Fiddler's revival was more successful, the refugee theme fit too perfectly to our time.

Would it work artistically? Sure, it's a great show. Financially? History says maybe not.

It recently had a revival that flopped big time - it was too soon and also got mixed reviews. It's a good show, but it doesn't need three Broadway productions in twenty years.

As much as I love the show, to revive it again would begin putting it in the same category of the 'every ten year revival of Gypsy.'
