If You Were to Revive a Revival...

I was just thinking about how much I miss the 2013 Pippin revival. It's truly one of my favorite experiences I've had seeing a show. I loved it so much, by the time the tour closed I had seen it once on Broadway, and three times on tour. With the success of the Cabaret "re-revival" in 2014, I couldn't help but think in 10-15 years, it wouldn't suprise me if they brought the Paulus Pippin back since it was well received, and universally loved.

During this thought process, I started wondering if there were any other iconic revivals that could merit remounting someday.

Roundabout should definitely bring back their sumptuous production of SHE LOVES ME.

Absolutely this.

And I'll throw in a vote for the 1992 Guys & Dolls.

Hedwig and Pippin, natch.

New revivals of the original musical material offer a new twist/vision on the piece and should be encouraged instead of doing a revival of a revival.

Ok, literally in the past 10 years the only "re-revival" that's happened is Cabaret, so don't freak out like its a normal thing that shouldn't be happening or should be changed. Also, I'm not calling for every revival in the world, just those that were unique or iconic enough to warrant it.

Just to be clear, you're talking about remounting a revival, not reviving it. That's what Cabaret 2014 "revival" was. I agree that 2016 She Loves Me and Deaf West's Spring Awakening were absolute masterpieces and deserved to last longer. I hope we the She Loves Me revival set again one day.

Pippin. Everything about that production was brilliant. Still get chills just thinking about it...



Hedwig, SideShow, Spring Awakening

I wish Roundabout would have thought to film the Cabaret Re-revival. Especially with Emma Stone as Sally. Let's hope they Marshall and Mendes come to the realization they need to adapt their cabaret As a film.

The Jerry Zaks/Nathan Lane Guys and Dolls. The production design alone would be more than enough to completely wipe out the bad taste from the more recent revival.

Lincoln Center's South Pacific would be my choice, though there are some great suggestions here, particularly Carousel and Guys and Dolls.

I would like to see the current UK National tour production of Addams Family Musical brought to Broadway. (This is a slightly revised/updated version of the 2010 Broadway Addams Family Musical production.)
