I doubt they would do it because it never made it to Broadway but I'd love to see a production of Prettybelle.

The subtitle of Encores! is Great American Musicals in Concert, and in the website's description of Irma La Douce it says "Encores! breaks the mold with its first musical not written on American soil."

So there you have it.

I think a season of the Great Flop "Rock" Musicals would be a great idea - not just Rockabye Hamlet, but Dude, Marlowe, and Via Galactica as well.

As stated about Whorehouse in this thread's sister thread, The Robber Bridegroom may be unlikely due to the fact that it's scored for 7 bluegrass musicians, not the orchestra they like to showcase at Encores.

Actually, Is There Life After High School is also written for a small (8 players) band, not an orchestra; and Scrambled Feet (which never played Broadway) is 1 piano only, as I recall (although several cast members are meant to play it).

Perhaps Scrambled Feet could be part of the Off-Broadway series, but presenting a show that small and intimate in the City Center would be like playing a 2-person game of charades spread out in an airplane hangar.

I would like to see them produce Fade Out - Fade In, preferably with someone like Leslie Kritzer in Carol's role. The show will probably never see a full scale revival but I think it would fit into an Encores season quite nicely.
