I love these musicals and I think there should be a revival for them. To me, they are classics and of course masterpieces. In my opinion, My Fair Lady wouldn't last as long as West Side Story would but it's worth a try. Any one else agree they should come back?

I favour MY FAIR LADY over WEST SIDE STORY everytime.

Would love to see WSS on stage, if just to see the original Robbins dances live.

I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I think the film of West Side Story is a really poor adaptation - so I'd love to see a WSS revival.

Whatever happened to the rumors about Keira Knightly in MFL on stage or screen? Didn't she sign a deal?

I don't know. I miss those musicals though :/ My opinion is that Kristin Chenoweth should be Eliza if it ever comes back to Broadway.

I think Rachel York would be fab.

She's actually spoken about wanting the role at some point in her career (she joked, though, it better happen soon before she gets old).

I saw a fantastic performance of My Fair Lady at Providence, RI's Trinity Repertory back in 2000. Two pianos dead center, a wooden stage, a spiral staricase, and four chairs and a table...one incredibly intimate evening

The town's high school did a production of My Fair Lady last year, that's when I fell in love with it.

MY FAIR LADY is a gorgeous show and should be revived, and has been relatively frequently.

WEST SIDE STORY is also brilliant, and is overdue for a first class revival. The last one on Broadway was in 1980.
