You know, a lot of people who said "hair" mentioned it as being revived updated. I think if they did revive it it should be left the way it is (perhaps cleaned up a bit but still left in the 60s etc.) I think that has a greater impact because people can see the relevence to today on their own. That and I'm a sucker for anything hippie.
And it may be a bit soon (obviously) but next to normal!
Cages or wings? Which do you prefer? Ask the birds. Fear or love, baby? Don't say the answer Actions speak louder than words. (Tick, Tick... BOOM!)

"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor
"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl
"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

CHESS def. should have been on my list! I forgot how much I love that score! The production in London ran much longer than the broadway production; perhaps doing a more similar production?? It's such an incredible score!!
I'd also love to see revivals of: DuBarry Was a Lady, Out Of This World & Jubilee (Cole Porter); I Married An Angel, Jumbo & Babes In Arms (Rodgers & Hart); My One And Only (Gershwins); and I'd be curious to see old-timey operettas, such as The New Moon.
I love CAMELOT, too!! Brian Stokes Mitchell would make an excellent King Arthur; Audra McDonald would be a fascinating Quinevere!! (:
A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC: Audra, Bernadette, Donna (Murphy), Judi Dench (too old, but I don't care!)as Desiree - Angela Lansbury as the mother?? (:

ANYONE CAN WHISTLE- Streep or Donna Murphy as Hoover, Krakowski as Apple, Neil Patrick Harris as Hapgood.
MACK & MABEL- Krakowski reprising her role as Mabel Normand.
FOLLIES- Don't mess with the Murphy/Clark pairing, bring Casey Nicholaw or Tommy Tune as directors.
BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE IN TEXAS
REEFER MADNESS

Posted: 4/8/08 at 4:57pmThere's a big difference between shows some of you would like to see and shows that should be revived.
