Well, if I was trying to appeal only to a typical theater-going audience, and didn't have a "theme" or anything as a company and just wanted to do an eclectic variety of works each season:

Sweeney Todd (of course)
The Importance of Being Earnest OR Noises Off
Death of a Salesman
Some sort of family-friendly musical like Ragtime or something
The Goat OR The Pillowman (to give 'em something challenging)

Loaded question, lol. It would have to be either a regional theatre somewhere or off-off broadway. Too many business considerations on Broadway. I'd rather produce a successful small production somewhere than a big flop. "Don't set out for a Broadway production, let fate or fortune take you there."

Vengo.. adapted from the film. I'd have to write that one.
My Fair Lady
Fiddler on the Roof
The Gypsy Camp Vanishes into the Heavens (I'd probably have to write one, too)
West Side Story

I would open with a big, flashy musical- a crowd pleaser that would bring people to my next few shows.
It would be:
LA CAGE AUX FOLLES

Next, I would go with something relatively inexpensive, but artistically challenging:
I AM MY OWN WIFE

I follow that with another musical, perhaps not as flashy, but still a crowd-pleaser:
URINETOWN

Next, I go with one of my favorite plays ever:
FUDDY MEERS

I finish with my favorite musical ever:
ASSASSINS
