Isn't it playing in London soon? Maybe that production will get some buzz and transfer

It would be nice for Bernadette to star in her own Herman revival of Mame...her run in Dolly suggests that she can sell tickets in the right show.

I same qolbinau's name and came to the thread specifically to see what show they'd dreamcast Bernadette in. :)

Parade.
Also I would NEVER have said funny girl, but I think jessie mueller could pull it off. Or, even better, a unknown! in the ultimate star-making role.

Yes. A well-received production from this spring transfers to the West End for a Nov-Feb run. I am seeing it shortly after previews start.

I think an American Idiot revival couldn't be more relevant given our current political climate...

MAME
BARNUM - saw the Meniere Chocolate Factory in London - something intimate like that would work - the show was a ton of fun

I was at a Q&A forum with Lynne Ahrens about a year ago and someone asked about a Seussical revival. She said she didn't want it to happen - the original experience was so traumatizing and she and Flaherty are quite content with it being a huge hit in amateur theatres and schools. Not saying it wouldn't happen in the right situation but it sounds like there's not a real desire from the creators.

I have seen enough of seussical from manning the light board during my school's production. PLEASE NO, use all that talent somewhere else.

It's playing in Boston at Lyric Stage next season in case you're into day trips: Aug 31 2018 - Oct 07 2018.

Anyone Can Whistle
City of Angels
The Life
Little Me
Kiss of the Spiderwoman
Posted: 7/19/18 at 4:25pm
I'd like to see if anyone would potentially bring back Little Women and make it successful. It's one of those shows I listen to and find things I like about it as time passes.

I know based on all of the recent regional and school productions like one I was in recently, that it’s not necessarily due for a Broadway revival just yet, but I’d love to see The Drowsy Chaperone revived with this cast:
Man in Chair: David Hyde Pierce
Janet Van de Graff: Laura Osnes
Robert Martin: Tony Yazbeck
George: Eddie Korbich (Don’t know of any other older tap-dancing tenors)
Chaperone: Stephanie J. Block
Aldolpho: Andy Karl
Feldzieg: Michael McCormick
Kitty: Jennifer Simard
Gangsters: Nick Cordero and Wesley Taylor
Underling: Jefferson Mays
Mrs. Tottendale: Carol Burnett (Georgia Engel could always reprise her role)
Trix: Lilli Cooper

The Secret Garden for sure. Also echoing Caroline or Change.
This isn't technically a revival, but I do wonder if Heathers will ever find itself on Broadway.

Cher is the only Mame that would sell out every performance[well maybe with Cher only doing 4 a week] with very little publicity and Baranksi as Vera, then as Mame when Cher is 'resting'. Lots of choices for another Vera and a newly discovered talent for Gooch.

Aida with an historically accurate cast... nobody had blond hair and blue eyes in Egypt!
Well, it's not as if anything else about the original production attempted to be historically accurate, either. The only reference to history at all were the bookend scenes in the museum, which should have been cut because they made the rest of the show seem even less coherent.
As for The Life, I hope that gawdawful show never returns to Broadway. A few decent tunes couldn't dig that hideous book out of its dreary grave. The Hookers Ball was one of the worst missteps I've seen in a Broadway musical. Right up there with Out for Blood from Carrie.
