Was The Light in the Piazza actually a flop? Well, either way, I'd love to see it revived.

I agree with Cry Baby... I want Christopher J Hanke to still be in it though because he absolutely cracked me up. So hilarious!
Also Little Shop of Horrors!

Yes! Little Shop, please! I absolutely adore that show, and I was surprised it wasn't more successful on Broadway. I think it's probably Alan Menken's best, and I'm a tinge obsessed with Disney, so that's saying a lot...

Jekyll, minus the ginormous bump that was called the Broadway run (which I still thoroughly enjoyable), has really only gotten better too.
Really? Did you see the second pre-Broadway production (out of the the three)? That is where I felt the show peaked. After that, it went downhill. Yes, it improved after Broadway, but it still isn't anywhere near the show it once was. The second production only needed a few minor changes and it would have been magnificent. That show was a gigantic missed opportunity. And I love I Need to Know. It set up Jekyll's motivations from the beginning and provided the much-needed energy at the top of the show. Lost in the Darkness was a pretty song that really just dragged out what was roughly a couple of lines of dialogue in what was one of the dullest openings I've ever seen in a musical. It's not a good idea to put people to sleep at the top of the show. Afer seeing the mostly fabulous pre-Broadway productions (the third was starting to get iffy), I laughed my way through the Broadway production. It was virtually unrecognizable and unintentionally campy. I mean, those Good and Evil (a song originally sung by the innkeeper in the Alley Theatre production) devil boys! I don't think they had spandex in the 19th century.

Cry Baby had some (Like 4) great songs and an interesting concept and with a lot of tweaking I think it could be great!

Duh, The Little Mermaid. But only after Lion King closes because we can't have too many kid shows on Bway. I'd love to see an actual mermaid with no feet.
Also, Lestat would be a great to see on broadway. I heard some of the music and it's phenominal.

I agree with the Smile suggestion, Jane and all. Such an under-appreciated show.
Also, Anyone Can Whistle with Raul, Donna, and Sutton really needs to be revived as a full production. The "concert" version was fabulous, though I found that mine was an unpopular opinion when talking with people at the stage door there...

It's true - Woman is vastly under-rated. I think what needs to be done is simply take the original script and insert the songs into it.
Poparia, I happen to agree with you on Lestat...but it's an unpopular opinion we hold. I'm crazy about Lestat like philly03 is with Wonderland - we'll never win on this board with our opinions, but we'll defend it to the death.
