Me and My Girl - Who wants a revival?

I just was shuffling my iTunes today and rediscovered this unbelievable tuneful score and foundmyself wondering how such a wonderfully funny, joyful show with such an awesome star role has not been revived yet?

Am I the only one who would LOVE to see a revival of this wonderful show, with its gem of a Noel Gay score? And who would you cast? (big shoes to fill, Robert Lindsay's)

I thought:
Bill Snibson - Christian Hoff or maybe even Andy Karl
Sally Smith - Sutton Foster
George S. Irving - Boyd Gaines
Maria, Duchess of Dene - Marni Nixon
Herbert Parchester, the family solicitor - Danny Burstein
Gerald Bolingbroke - Paul Canaan
Jacqueline Carstone - Annaleigh Ashford

anyone agree/disagree?

I'd like to see a revival! But I'm not into your casting.

This show was so much fun! It was the first production at the Marriot. It was like attending a cozy party in a mansion, and it was a very nice upbeat evening of theatre, in direct contrast to the heavy Les Mis. The fight that year between the My Girl cast and Les Mis over the Tony Award was quite memorable.

I just cant think of anyone to play Bill......there are lots of fun casting options for the rest of the characters, but who could play Bill???

I actually saw Sutton do it in Pittsburgh and she was brilliant, hence why I cast her.

Bill's really a HARD role to cast. Guy has to have the physical endurance of a horse, and generally be gifted at everything physical, not to mention be able to sing like ten songs and be wildly charming.

Oooh, John Barrowman... *purrrs*

I went past a road called Lambeth Walk on a bus the other day. I've had the song stuck in my head ever since. They really knew how to write 'em in those days!

Barrowman would be PERFECT for Bill! He might be older, but he still looks young.

I could see Norbert pulling the roll off as well...

Do you realize that George S. Irving is an actor who was with the original production and not the name of a character in the show?

i'll happily do the lambeth walk down the street if they ever decide to revive this!

I did this show for summer theatre in 2006- it's such a simple and fun-filled show. To revive this show would be a splendid idea!

I kinda see Sara Ramirez as Lady Jacqueline, though she'd never do it giving her stint on Grey's Anatomy now.
