Posted: 3/14/15 at 12:19amAre there any shows that you think should be revived? I thought about posting this since Cats is getting a revival (whether you like it or not)

"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Posted: 3/14/15 at 12:31amDoes anybody else remember when there were in fact two productions of the Chicago revival running simultaneously? My memory tells me Robin Givens was in one of them.

Posted: 3/14/15 at 11:38amRent directed by Michael Mayer would be perfect!! He's so much less superfluous than Michael Grief.

Posted: 3/14/15 at 11:59amAs this was not specific to musicals, I would like to suggest Look: We've Come Through by Hugh Wheeler. I just read it and thought it was really lovely. Also Vieux Carré and A Flea in Her Ear (probably the funniest play I've ever read)

Posted: 3/14/15 at 1:28pmI do feel like shows like Rent, A Chorus Line, Little Shop should always be playing on Broadway. I know it's not profitable, but there should be a revival house that rotates the classic shows throughout the year with Broadway caliber casts.

I do not understand why City of Angels hasn't seen a revival. It's a great show. The music is a bit difficult (have to have some tight jazz harmony), but it really is worth remounting.
The Secret Garden
A Day In Hollywood/A Night In The Ukraine
Ain't Misbehavin' (seems like a no brainer)
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Posted: 3/14/15 at 8:41pmFantod, I gather than many consider Rent and Little Shop to be "modern" classics. Also, Jordan was being a little sarky...it's his sort of humor. Sometimes, you have to read betweenthelines. Peace. RC in Austin, Texas

Posted: 3/14/15 at 10:03pmAlso, I would love a revival of The Crucible in a few years. I've been dying to see that live for ages.
