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.)

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

 

Amen to that, great revival.

I would love to see the Hytner CAROUSEL again.  The announcement of another revival of CAROUSEL makes me incredibly nervous as I simply can't imagine CAROUSEL being done better than Hytner did (though I am hoping).

CallMe, your point is well taken about the Chorus Line "reprisal."  I just think it's the perfect musical and deserves a very long life on Broadway. 

I forgot to mention 3 revivals that we missed because we were not in New York during their runs, and I could kick myself for missing them:  She Loves Me, Side Show, and Falsettos.

I would revive Signature Theatre in Arlington Va's "West Side Story". Easily the best production of that show I have ever seen, including the 1980 B'way revival and  the recent B'way revival which was dreadful.

Jerry Zaks' marvelous, well designed revival of Guys and Dolls and Bartlett Sher's stunning, beautiful revival of The King and I.

That's all.

100% with you, South Fl Marc. I love that the show was over a year and a half ago and that you and I still look back on it so well. Truly one of the greatest productions I've ever seen!

Falsettos or Sunday in the Park with George

Falsettos- What a perfect production, one of the best revivals in recent years. The filmed version is a masterpiece, and so is the cast and wonderful score. I'm honestly nervous if another revival ever comes up, because there's little chance the cast or production could be as strong. 

She Loves Me- Another beautiful, underrated jewel of a piece. I have no idea why this was a limited run, it should still be playing (although then Gavin Creel couldn't be Cornelius...). Gorgeous sets, costumes, acting, and score. And that cast! I could go on and on. 

Hello, Dolly!- This hasn't even closed yet, but when it does, I'll instantly want it back. There's not much to say about this that hasn't been said already, but it very much is a stunning show. I really, really hope it tours.

Sunday In The Park With George/Jake- I can't claim to have seen it, because I haven't. But from just hearing Annaleigh and Jake's Move On? I can tell they were amazing as Dot and George. I also really loved the sleek, minimalistic approach to the show, and doubled with the perfect casting? What a gem it seemed to be.
