Whoever it was that said 'Rags' -- YES!
That would be great to have the chance to see.

Dearest, how can this be so? You were dead, you know. - Candide
Oh my god, this show has everything! Half naked guys and girl on girl action! - [title of show]
(My avatar? Why, yes! That is Laura Benanti making out with a chick!)

BALLROOM
I'd also love to see THE LIFE re-visited.
oh yeah... and my version of THE ROBBER BRIDEGROOM!

Posted: 8/29/08 at 10:16pmUnfortunately, Falsettos has become somewhat of a "lesser-known show". That should be reason enough to revive it.

Posted: 8/29/08 at 11:04pmDefinitely, definitely Drood.
A little swash, a bit of buckle - you'll love it more than bread.

Drood and SMILE
If I won the lottery I would literally instantly start working on producing the following:
1. Meryl Streep as Desiree (Night Music) and Lovett (duh)
2. Smile either on Broadway or a major regional house

Posted: 8/30/08 at 2:33pmWhy do u guys like "Smile"? It's so unbearably pretentious, and the score isn't that great. Same with "My Favorite Year". Ugghh. Personally, I say "Dear World", "Prettybelle", "Tycoon" (which has never been in NY anyways)and "The Magic Show".

Posted: 8/30/08 at 2:45pmDefinitely Rags. What a wonderful score. I saw this at the Jewish Rep I think it was about ten years ago with Ann Crumb and it was terrific. The book needs work, but it's not horrible. Someone with a vision could make this work.

Posted: 8/30/08 at 3:00pmI would LOVE to see a revival of The Secret Garden! Such a beautiful score!

Just listened to Waltz
It is amazing how dated the song about flying is - "They just shove a tray @ you".Not anymore.
