"Forgotten" musicals that mean the most to you? — Page 4

I think it’s a perfect time for a revival of Applause. I saw the original in Broadway with Lauren Bacall and Penny Fuller. I thought it was GREAT!! Who can ever forget the song Welcome to the Theater??

Does anyone remember a flop called Cry for us All? I believe it premiered during the 1972 Broadway season. What about a musical called Ari? It was the musical version of Exodus

I also want to mention another musical which I had the pleasure of seeing: The Rothschilds. WONDERFUL show and great score.

"Harnick and Bock, Hal Linden and Keene Curtis which tried out at Philadelphia's venerable Forrest Theater.

I’ve never seen “Candide” and always wanted to. Have they ever done a revival? Not in my memory and I’ve been an avid theater goer for many years.

I've been taking a lot of pleasure in introducing my friends to Dance of the Vampires over quarantine - it is a campy chaotic mess, but it makes me laugh harder than almost any well written comedy these days. "

Don't know if is exactly forgotten or people would like to forget it. But, Cy Coleman and Dorothy Fields "Seesaw" sticks in my mind. It had a drama filled out of town Detroit tryout,most notable for the firing of Laine Kazan. And a short run ,at The Uris and Hellinger,of nit even a year before closing There was a short road tour with Lucie Arnaz and John Gavin and the whirlwind dynamo 6'6" Tommy Tune doing " It's not where you start Its where you Finish". But there are some good tunes, and Tommy ascending and descending a large staircase are forever imprinted on my memory.

I loved The Rink.

This thread is addictive.

"Bat Boy" with the delicious Deven May and Kerry Butler at off Broadways Union Square Theater.

There were two revivals in my lifetime, the first in 1973 (a pretty legendary staging by Hal Prince), and about 10 years later, which was a flop. They revamped the Broadway Theatre even more than HLL. Quite a great production.

I believe the production Hal Prince directed starred Lewis J. Stadlin. The legendary Katherine Hepburn crawled in and copied up to one of the actors in an on stage bed. God I miss the great Kate,who while in "A Matter of Gravity" at the Forrest Theater growled at a theater goer ,justifiably so,who snapped a picture upon her entrance. After the show, on the little alley between the theater proper and the dressing room building while waiting for her autograph the same guy tried to snap her picture and she lunged at him. Classic. We were instructed to write our addresses on the program,and she would autograph them later and mail them to us. Which she did. Class all the way. Sorry,not trying to hijack the thread.

I don’t know why Encores doesn’t do this some time. It’s pastiche score is incredible melodious.

Re prior post, they sang for about 20 minutes. That alone was worth the price of admission.
