Broadway Dreams

It has been announced that a new production of Noel Coward's "Private Lives" is scheduled to make its way to Broadway for the 2026/2027 season.  If so, this is a Broadway Dream come true for me.  I adore Noel Coward and have long wished to see one of his plays on stage.  And more, my 80th birthday on Planet Earth will be in early January 2027.  I would be so very happy to celebrate by sitting in the audience on my birthday enjoying "Private Lives".

So, do you have any Broadway Dreams that you hope will come true, or perhaps have already been realized?

The only specific production that comes to mind for me is a new revival of Twelve Angry Men, particularly one with Kyle MacLachlan as Juror #8 (I actually have a full dream cast list for a hypothetical production, but I won't inundate the thread with that). I first came across the play when we read it aloud in drama class my freshman year of high school and have since seen both film adaptations; I've never seen a live production, so that is certainly on my theatre-themed checklist.

Other than that, my only "dreams" per se would be Paul Giamatti, Pedro Pascal, Jeffrey Wright, and J.K. Simmons returning to Broadway (or just the theater in general) in different productions or even all in the same production (you did say "dreams", after all).
