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

BALLROOM
I'd also love to see THE LIFE re-visited.

Unfortunately, Falsettos has become somewhat of a "lesser-known show". That should be reason enough to revive it.

DO I HEAR A WALTZ? I just discovered it two days ago and it is absolutely brilliant.

Two Gentlemen of Verona
Hallelujah, Baby.
Fiorella
Redhead

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

Why 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".

Definitely 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.

I 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.

Smile would be great with Jane Krakowski as Brenda, Gregg Edelman as Big Bob, and a bunch of unknowns straight out of college as the girls.
