Name a West End Musical you wish had opened on Broadway but never did.

Living in the UK and working in West End shows i was just wondering what shows from London do you wish you had got to see on Broadway but never Transfered.It could be recent or years ago.

I wish you guys could have seen Our House , it was a great show

Metropolis. Have only heard the recording (a long time ago), but thought it had great potential.

hey you never know you may still get witches

Whistle Down the Wind?

question mark because I am no expert, so I don't even know where this show has been performed, I just think it was in London only

"question mark because I am no expert, so I don't even know where this show has been performed, I just think it was in London only"

It played Washington DC.

Jerry Springer is getting it's US premiere here in Chicago at the Bailiwick.

Ick. Hated BLOOD BROTHERS. Left at intermission.

But would love to see a production of THE FIX.

Saw the recent WHISTLE DOWN THE WIND London revival. Or reworking. Or whatever. Shouldn't come to B'way. It'll definately bomb.

I saw Beautiful Game in London. I don't think Americans would receive it that well. You have to have an understanding of years of strife and terrorism in order to understand the show. Additionally, I didn't think it was ALW's best music.

The Fix.

My parents saw Time a couple of times (lol!) I think, and they loved it. Apparently the opening section was very impressive- lights everywhere. They have the album, but I've never got round to listening to it. Might get the old LP player down from the loft at some point. I'd like to have seen it just because of the Olivier factor- I know he wasn't in it personally, but anything he touches would have been amazing!

As for whoever said Return to the Forbidden Planet, they are right! You are definitely missing a treat there. Bob Carlton's classic is great- IMO a better kitsch fun night out that either Little Shop or Rocky Horror. I love it. And you can't beat a bit of Rock n Roll AND Shakespeare in the same show! Not to mention Sir Patrick Moore! It's possibly the most fun night out I've ever had at the theatre. Seen it three times and still constantly check for it coming back near me again!

I'm from the UK as well, so again can't comment on what I'd like to have seen- only what you've missed out on! Has We Will Rock You opened on Broadway? Also, Jolson? That was a good show. Brian Connolly was a surprisingly good impersonator of the world's greatest ever entertainer!

If we were looking at it the other way, I really want Urinetown to come over the pond to the UK. I've been dying to see it ever since I first read about it. I'm also intrigued by Aida! Written by Sir Tim Rice and still not produced in the UK- what is happening there!???
