Can somebody please make this happen? This musical seems like it would be perfect for a Roundabout revival. I can't be the only one clamoring for it!

I was just thinking this the other day, actually! I would love this!

I saw a tiny revival some years back at the Donmar and it was unimpressive. The musical needs the Tommy Tune staging (or at least something else truly visionary) otherwise its not worth reviving.

I disagree -- I thought the Donmar production was superb. It was moody and evocative. The score and show are strong on their own and not dependent on a big splashy production to stand out.

Whenever someone decides to mount a revival, I have some casting suggestions.

I think the music itself holds up well, as does the story. That being said, I do think the show would need an inspired director, because without one, it would be a disaster with all the different plots going on. One name that comes to mind, that I know is relatively new to the directing game is David Hyde Pierce. I thought his staging of It Shoulda Been You was pretty great and he did a good job of juggling multiple scenes and storylines all happening at the same time.

Alright, fine, I will compromise that it doesn't have to be all Tommy Tune choreography, but can we at least have "Take a Glass"?
