"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Mr. Roxby... I believe that Children of Eden is one of Schwartz best scores.... It is up there with Pippin IMHO.
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

I really want a revival of THE WHO'S TOMMY-- stunt cast someone like Adam Levine in the title role. People complain that the story is dated, but in the era of reality TV, I think its commentary on celebrity is more resonant now than ever before.

Came here to say Dreamgirls, pleasantly surprised to see it said 3 times already.
Also seconding Sunset Boulevard.
And I think it's about time Merrily We Roll Along got a Broadway run with the revised material. Same deal with Parade.

"To Kill a Mockingbird" has never been produced on Broadway but would probably be considered a revival under the "part of the classic repertoire" rule. Christopher Sergel's adaptation is quite wonderful.

A lot of shows need revivals. I would like a revival of "UrineTown". It is the kind of show that makes you laugh until you cry and hurt. It also has a really good message about greedy corporations. It satires everything.
If I remember right it never formally closed. I think te theatre it was in was sold and torn down. It sucks because it was still doing pretty well.

I would also like to see a Urinetown revival. It's one of those shows that I'm sad I never got to see. It's a wonderful satirical score.
Titanic, Parade, The Grand Hotel, Kiss of the Spider Woman, Merrily, and A New Brain all deserve to be revisited too. Hopefully the encores production of Brain will inspire a revival.
I think that Little Shop of Horrors is in need of a *good* revival. I wasn't a fan of the cartoon direction of the 2003 production. I'd love to see Megan Hilty and Josh Gad (maybe) take it on.

I wish someone would go back to the original 1960 movie and use the dark shadows type of production values found in the movie. I'm tired of the bright, Disney look of LSOH.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

La Cage already revived in 2004 and 2010, but I never tire of it.

Posted: 6/20/15 at 1:18amI'd love to see a Rocky Horror revival. Also agreed with Urinetown, and Dreamgirls.

Posted: 6/20/15 at 11:29am@hen88, there's a revival of A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum that's in the works, set to star James Corden. It was delayed because he got the job to host The Late Late Show, but I believe they're still planning to do it once he's done with that (though who knows how long that will be?)
