lets see...ummm, uh...I'd definitely kick out Phantom of the Opera, Wicked, Aida, Beauty and the Beast, Little Shop of Horrors...and replace them with Sweeney Todd, Company, West Side Story, and Sunday In the Park with George. at least.

Kick out Bombay, throw in, uh, Parade. That'd be a nice tone change, huh?

Do you have some overpowering urge to see tumbleweed blowing through the streets of New York City?

Let's see...

42nd Street out, Company in. With Hugh Jackman as Bobby, just because. :)

Or...

Phantom of the Opera out, Follies in.

Bombay Dreams out, West Side Story in.

Beauty and the Beast out, Sweeney Todd in.

Thoroughly Modern Millie out...Taboo back in, with a revised book.

Edit: Or Urinetown anywhere. It shouldn't have closed. Oh, and Popa: sad but true. *sigh*

Kick out: POTO, The Lion King, and Bombay Dreams
Throw in: Wild Party (either one) Secret Garden and Grand Hotel (all newly looked at, perhaps not altered but perhaps? just a little? a new song or something... just for fun!)

Since Aida is leaving, we can replace it with Evita (an ALW musical that I actually like....wow)

PS- I would put in the Lippa Wild Party for Rent. And since Aida's closing anyway, might as well stick in parade

I'd also close Golda's Balcony and put in First Lady Suite with Mary Testa, Julia Murney, and the rest of the cast from the Transit Group revival.

Firstly, I'd toss out Phantom (its time is up) for A Chorus Line. Next, Bombay Dreams (definitley) for anything (I guess for South Pacific). Also, The Boy From Oz (after Hugh leaves) for Bye, Bye Birdie or Annie.

Bombay Dreams - Ragtime (this show should have run for decades)
The Lion King - Footloose (with a revised book, this show would rock)
