AIDA









Seriously-Les Miz would make an interesting staged reading

AIDA, Cabaret, or TABOO. All AMAZING shows that were taken away too soon.

Hair!!!

(Also - Aida, Taboo, Cabaret, etc.)

If were talking about shows that closed to soon, add Assassins to that list.

I know Emcee! Beleive me, I wanted to say Cabaret so bad. But there are other shows that I want to see and SITPWG is just one out of a billion.

If you look at the list of shows Musicals Tonight has done previously, you'll notice that they are mostly small, often obscure, overlooked shows from the 20s through the 60s (lots of Gershwin, Rodgers & Hart,Berlin, Porter, etc....). Those are the kind of shows they do -- forgotten shows from the past. Okay? So no they won't be doing Les Miz or Aida or SITPWG or Cabaret or even Taboo (which closed less than a year ago).

How about -- in honor of the deaths of Cy Coleman and Fred Ebb, -- Wildcat or I Love My Wife or Seesaw or Flora, The Red Menace or The Happy Time or 70 Girls, 70?

Margo read my mind. I submitted a couple of Cy Coleman shows as perhaps a tribute. I also suggested Starting Here, Starting Now.

Revive Starmites or Weird Romance, though I'm not 100 percent sure either one ever hit Broadway. I know Weird Romance didn't, but still - they're awesome.

Otherwise.....Revive PIPPIN!

I'd love to see a revival of Pippin. When was it last on Broadway? The 80s?

That and HAIR - maybe Chess too, just needs to work on its book.

Half a Sixpence, Happy Hunting, Pins and Needles. I second Flora the Red Menace.

Starmites ran (and flopped) on Broadway about 15 years ago and was revived off-Broadway a couple of seasons ago.

Wouldn't mind seeing revivals of IRMA LA DOUCHE, ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY, CARNIVAL, and MACK AND MABEL.

A Chorus Line- A MUST

Corine, A Chorus Line is at the top of my list too!
That show was the first musical I ever heard other than The Sound of Music. I am dying to see a production of it.

[Corine2]

Posted: 11/21/04 at 8:58pm

Also:
Violet-
Urinetown
Caroline or Change
I know both Urinetown and Caroline recently closed (Caroline is in CA)
But I miss them and would love to see them soon.

aida should defintely come back, like now. it was so amazing. they're due for a revival of west side story...not that i'm looking forward to it. i'd enjoy kiss me, kate if they did that.

I would say Pippin but if they arent doing The Apple Tree because Encores is doing it with Kristin Chenowith, than I doubt they would want to be compared to the knock out cast of the Pippin concert thats happening next week.

I would LOVE to see A Chorus Line revived.

Yeah Margo, I thinking the same thing...about how they're all small, obscure, older shows, which got a resounding "BOO!!" from me; but I think a Cy tribuette would be cute.
