Plays you want to see revived in the next 10 years

What the title says - what straight plays do you want to see back on Broadway in the next decade? Personally I am itching for a fresh production of Moliere in NYC, with my preference being Tartuffe, but I would be overjoyed for anything from his pen.

Paul Rudnick's Jeffrey was dated for many years but now I think would work great as a period piece.

The Amen Corner
Blues for Mr. Charlie
Becket

No Exit

Lettice and Lovage
The Member of the Wedding
The Sunshine Boys
'night, Mother
The Way of the World
The Skin of Our Teeth
Anna Christie
Look Homeward, Angel
Seascape

The Last Days of Judas Iscariot.

Ivo or Sam Gold directs.

JK Simmons plays Satan.

Jennifer Lawrence plays Cunningham.

(a slightly aged) Timothée Chalamet as Judas.

-- Strange Interlude (as long as the production is as good as the last one, with Glenda Jackson)

-- Scapino, as long as they can cast someone whose can hope will be at least half as good as Jim Dale

-- Nicholas Nickelby, although it may be prohibitively expensive at this point

-- The Philadelphia Story, with Cate Blanchette as Tracy Lord. I don't think Tracy's age is clear,so she would not be too old.

-- A Streetcar Named Desire...given how bad the last Broadway production was, it is time.

-- The Pillowman

-- The Great White Hope...at Lincoln Center

-- Hay Fever, with Jennifer Ehle taking the role last played by her mother...probably 30 years ago, if not more.

-- Death Trap, because it is time for a good mystery and no-one seems willing to produce new one

-- Becket, because I saw a version 20years or so ago,with DerekJacobi and Robert Lindsey,and it was great.

-- The Diary of Anne Frank, because the last production,which was probably 20 years ago,sucked.

-- Brighton Beach Memoirs or Lost in Yonkers, because one of them is Neil Simon's best IMO. Will probably need to be non-profit, based on the fiasco of BBM a decade or so ago, although Lost can benefitfromstar casting.

-- Marat / Sade, to see if it would still work today.

-- Sweet Bird of Youth, but only if they can get someone who can play Alexandra Del Lago. While not the larger role (Chance Wayne has to be), it requires 'larger thanlife'

--The Cherry Orchard...the last production I saw was at Lincoln Center 40 years ago, and it was incredible.

-- Never, ever going to happen, but I would've to see a revival of 'My Fat Friend', which was one of the funniest shows I ever saw, and was not a success. Nathan Lane would be great in the role originally played by George Rose.

I am probably forgetting the one I'd like to see the most, but this is a pretty good approximation.

Someone beat me to this but I would love to see a revival of DEATHTRAP. The twist and turns were endless and it was the first time I have ever heard an audience scream at a particular part of the play. It happened at every performce that I saw.

Can you imagine? That would be incredible.

This question was discussed on this week's episode of Three On The Aisle, and one of the critics mentioned Lorraine Hansberry's The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window, and I could not agree more. Having only read it and never seen it staged, I think it is the great overlooked American classic. When it premiered, critics responded dismissively to a play about white New Yorkers written by a black women. This is a great play that was never given its due. Anne Kauffman directed a very well-reviewed production at the Goodman two years ago, and I would love to see her take on the work.

any play by Tennessee Williams ( with the exception go The Glass Menagerie)

Neil Simon deserves a revival in his honor with:

Brighton Beach, Biloxi Blues and Broadway Bound

Rumors (never saw or read but remember it being talked about a few seasons ago with Andrea Martin)

Deathtrap - there was a west end production a few years ago with Jonathan Groff that sounded wonderful
