I think Carrie could do very well right now, with re-writes and a sane director. The camp factor and it's storied history would definitely get people in there.
It's just a message board. Let's not take it too seriously.

I'm surprised no one has started a DREAMGIRLS revival with Frenchie or LaKiesha from AI. They'd be riding the wave from the movie.
If I has $10 million, I do the Roundabout revival of PJ GAME on tour, and just re-do the orchestrations for the leads without the crooner's interp in it.
I'd love to see Faith Prince in HELLO, DOLLY! (if Carol Channing isn't available) or a production of MAME.
I actually think a lot of these would so well. Dreamgirls and Aida especially. Dreamgirls because of the success of the movie and Aida because the tour just shut down. 42nd street is a great musical and I think it may do well depending on the star power.
I am all for A Little Night Music, but I agree that John Doyle needs to stay away! Chess would be GREAT!
If I could pick a straight play, I would go with Angels in America. (OK, everyone can roll their eyes at me) :)
Jack: For your information, most people who meet me do not know that I am gay.
Will: Jack, blind and deaf people know you're gay. Dead people know you're gay.
Jack: Grace, when you first met me, did you know I was gay?
Grace: My dog knew.
I'd like to see a NEW production of Aida in a few years. I love the previous one, but would be interested in a new take on it. I think Disney will probably keep too much control over any revivals, though.

-City Of Angels--the time has most defintely come -West Side Story -They're Playing Our Song (with good cast and good direction, it could have some potential) -Baby (repeat my previous statement)
First you're another sloe-eyed vamp, then someone's mother, then you're camp...
Oh yea--Ragtime most definitely. I'd also love to see Lady In The Dark, but I think it would be too expensive to produce a full production of it. Maybe Encores?
First you're another sloe-eyed vamp, then someone's mother, then you're camp...
Encores! already did a revival of LADY IN THE DARK starring Christine Ebersole.
