What shows do you think need to be on Broadway?
They can be shows that play or played in London or regional theatre but have never come to Broadway, movie musicals that could be adapted to the Broadway stage, or revivals.
Let's help come up with ideas to fill those empty theatres before the producers start getting their ideas from the "Your Worst Musical Ideas" thread.
Here are some of mine:
"The Good Old Bad Old Days" (Newley and Bricusse, had a nice run in London but never followed "Stop the World" and "Greasepaint" to Broadway. Very fun score.)
"The Happiest Millionaire" (a Disney 1960s movei musical with Fred MacMurray, Tommy Steele, and Leslie Anne Warren that chronicles the daffy Biddle family)
"The Roar of the Greasepaint, The Smell of the Crowd" (as discussed on another thread. What can I say? I'm a Newley/Bricusse fan.)
"Stop the World -- I Want to Get Off" (see above)
"Carnival" (a nice little show with a terrific score -- I had hoped that the Kennedy Center's revival of it would hit Broadway, but alas, it was not to be.)
"Harmony" (the Manilow-Sussman musical about a Jewish singing group in Germany.)
"The Visit" (Kander and Ebb at their usual dark standard, but well scored and morbidly interesting.)
What are your picks?
