It would be neat to hear what Jim Steinman has up his sleeve...
But I adore Jason Robert Brown (always thought it would interesting to see what he could have done with a show like RAGTIME)
and after hearing Live Out Loud from A Little Princess by Andrew Lippa I am dying to hear more of his work.

"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

Of course Sondheim, but not another Bounce. Strouse Strouse Strouse. I know he has a huge amount of flops, but listen to the scores of Golden Boy, Rags, Dance a little Closer. What happened to Marty?

David Yazbek, no question! His "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" was genius. I hope he's working on something as we speak.

"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen."

A little known fact is that in the original screenplay, Pan's Labyrinth was Pan's FLAByrinth. Hmmmmmmm...glad they changed it.

Guettel and Ricky Ian Gordon. JRB too I suppose, though I didn't much care for 13.

Adam Guettel. Whoever said he was terrible deserves a f****** great slap, if you ask me.
David Yazbek. Absolutely hilarious, but nowhere near prolific enough.
Marc Shaiman. Or perhaps I'm just ever so keen to see how 'Catch me If You Can' turns out.
Jim Steinman. I wish the 'Batman' musical hadn't died. ;_;

Jeanine Tesori
Ricky Ian Gordon (more like Dream True or Only Heaven, less like Orpheus & Euridice or My Life With Albertine)
Pasek & Paul
Brian Lowdermilk
Chris Miller & Nathan Tysen
Steve Marzullo
Jeff Blumenkrantz
Jenny Giering
Joshua Salzman (I Love You Because)
Jason Howland (Little Women... I'd love to see what he could do with a better lyricist than Mindi Dickstein)
David Kirshenbaum
Joe Iconis
Maybe that long of a list cheapens the significance, but I honestly want to hear more from all of these composers. I didn't include some of my favorite composers (Michael John LaChiusa, Adam Guettel, William Finn, Stephen Flaherty) because I feel like we have a lot from them already and some of them have started recycling. So for them I'm not dying for a new show immediately...I'd rather they spend time to do it as well as I know they all can.

Guettel and Finn for me.
My favorite newcomer is Robert Rokicki. He has a new show coming, and its supposed to be great!

Hate to break it to you, but PRINCESS BRIDE is dead, and has been for a while. Guettel had creative and financial differences with William Goldman.
The composer I'm ALWAYS wanting to hear more from is shockingly obvious :)

LaChiusa, Ricky Ian Gordon, and Joseph Thalken all received grants from Signature Theatre to develop and execute a workshop/full production of a new show over the next three seasons. I believe it is one show from one composer each season, or at least that was how it was explained at the recent cabaret highlighting their work.

So, we will hear more (new stuff) from them. I am particularly glad about the LaChiusa case. I would also like to hear more from Guettel and Ahrens and Flaherty.

What is Guettel working on now that Goldman is being a ninny and Princess Bride is over?
