Dramas In Need Of A Revival

After watching the movie version with Michael Caine & Lawrence Olivier, I nominate Sleuth


Another might be Wait Until Dark.

I would love to see a revival of Deathtrap. I also think it's been long enough to bring back Proof now, as well as Closer. And while it may not be the wisest decision for a producer to make, I would immediately book a flight to New York if a revival of Balm in Gilead were announced.

Its time for "Who's afraid of Virgina Wolf", "Come back little Sheba" and "Rhinocerous".

So the only criteria now for reviving a show is for stunt casting?


How about Moose Murders with Justin Beiber?

I thought it was obvious I was making a joke.

On this board anything could be suggested in all seriousness.No malice was intended with my response to you. I was joking also.

I second RHINOCEROS.


also BUS STOP.


I'd like to see A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM again.



"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle

Mr Roxy's comments are always full of malice. Also, why isn't A Midsummer Night's Dream off broadway? I think it would do well on.

I'd really like to see someone do a major production of THE PROMISE by Jose Rivera. Unfortunately, the only theater company with the bank to give it the costly production it needs is the Roundabout. And we know how the Roundabout feels about those icky non-whites.


"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

THE SKIN OF OUR TEETH



Probably my favorite play of all time tied with The Glass Menagerie. Get Tom Hanks as Mr. Antrobus. He's a huge star and would be great in the role.

Los Angeles's upcoming "Bent" production should transfer to Broadway.

#22

Dramas In Need Of A Revival

I think we're long overdue for a Broadway revival of "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead"


Also, after seeing Finding Neverland, it made me think about the original play Peter Pan by J.M Barrie. The play hasn't been performed on Broadway in many decades. I'd love to see a beautifully rendered production of the Barrie's published text.

Dramas In Need Of A Revival

Some revivals would be new to many as most of them are rarely done.


Another reason is to see it the way it was supposed to be seen and not a sanitized version on the screen


It appears the Sweet Bird Of Youth revival is in limbo. A shame as I would enjoy seeing the Williams version even though the movie version was stellar.

Dramas In Need Of A Revival

I'd like to see a really excellent production of Our Town. The last Broadway production was in 2002 with Paul Newman and I felt that production emphasized too much of the New England harshness and not enough of the joy of life. I would love to direct a production of this show because in the productions I've seen, nobody seems to quite capture life in a small town.


Broadway has completely ignored Agatha Christie. I would love to see an all star cast of The Mousetrap.


Out of the Tennessee Williams catalog, I'd like to see a nice production of Summer and Smoke.



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.

What happened to that Killer Joe revival (or maybe it wouldn't be considered a revival? I don't know?) Anyway, I like that play a lot and think it would do well with a bit of stunt casting.


A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.
