AIDA
Seriously-Les Miz would make an interesting staged reading
David walked into the valley
With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail
-Into the Fire

Posted: 11/21/04 at 6:12pmAIDA, Cabaret, or TABOO. All AMAZING shows that were taken away too soon.

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?

Posted: 11/21/04 at 6:50pmMargo 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!
There's always room for pathos - and jazz hands.

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.

Praying Decca Broadway will put "Don't Bother Me, I Can't Cope" on CD!

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.

FAME!

A dancer might dream to see her name in lights and mean it,
but all she really dreams is to make someone
else feel the way she did when she first saw a dancer.

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.

Posted: 11/21/04 at 10:23pmYeah 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.
