I don't know what I'd re-open. I loved the Sweet Charity revival.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Ragtime

I still think if Ragtime wasn't up against Lion King that year, it would've ran longer.

I'm changing mine from Parade to Ragtime because I'm a figging idiot. Nonetheless, Parade lost my vote by a micromicrometer.

Of course, Fascinating Rhythm, but only if they could have the original cast intact and promise to make a CD.

jerby hit the nail on the head. The show most worthy of being reopened (atleast from the last 15 years)


before that. Chess. I don't care if the book is a mess. I demand Chess.

I really think that if Carrie opened again it would be a flop, because everybody from this board would go and see it!
