Any New Musical Ideas or Revivals? Also, what movie would make a good musical?

Posted: 2/19/07 at 6:47pm

We need West side Story and South Pacific revivals.

I want an Aida revival so bad...I couldn't stand the non-equity tour...Agree with Allentown2 on WSS and SP for sure

West Side Story and Miss Saigon (a girl can dream!:0))

I think that we desperately need a "Into the Woods" revival! I mean, other Sondheim musicals have made revivals; "Sweeney Todd" and "Company"! I also think that "Miss Saigon" needs to be revived as well.

All of these shows that people are mentioning have not been closed nearly long enough to merit a revival (Besides South Pacific and West Side Story). Let's let some new stuff come in.

Anything but another jukebox musical, please.

I really want to see a revival of Applause.

Applause," It's A Chorus Line for actors"

I made a thread about this, but I want a musical version of Center Stage.
I really want to see a new modern musical drama of some sorts. Something moving that takes place in the now.

another revival of Guys and Dolls perhaps? : /

West Side Story would be a good revival also.

Guys and Dolls with Ewan McGregor as Sky Masterson please!

Also, A Little Night Music needs to be revived.

And I wish A Princess Bride was still happening. I was really looking forward to this.

Me too! I was so excited for Princess Bride; it's one of my all-time favorite movies! I hope they can work things out...either that, or they'll just have to put another one of my favorite movies on Broadway...Labrynth!

Wouldn't it seem to early for a revival of AIDA?

i think another "office" musical could be cute. something sort of like H2$ only they could incorporate some gay office workers or somesuch?

but blah: they're doing that with 9 to 5 so maybe it'd be too much on broadway right now...

another idea i've thrown around for a new musical would be From The Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. i think this could actually be done really well (and make a lot of money).

I wouldn't mind seeing a revival of The Frogs or of First Lady Suite, if either were possible.

Or something based on an obscure or older book/movie/play/etcetera. Oh my god, we could have SYRUPhttp://www.maxbarry.com">SYRUP: THE MUSICAL and WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT?: THE THEATRICAL EXPERIENCE!

Okay, maybe not.

Bring the 2005 London production of On The Town to Broadway!!
I also think She Loves Me could stand to come back... hell, it's been away longer than Grease.

i love the Forbidden Broadway skit where Julie Andrews sings about how there used to be fresh new musicals on Broadway and now everything you see coming up is EVERYTHING you've seen before. very funny

AGAIN? How many times does this come up?

Into the woods was just revived.

THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD would do so well today...its such a fun show.

Because this was above a Spring Awakening thread it thought it was any ideas for a Spring Awakening Revival, and got really confused.
