There are a few shows that I believe desperately deserve a second chance, but I doubt a revival will come.
Parade- Such a good show with a tough message.
Little Women- I really enjoyed this show, but with some work... It could be really good.
Jane Eyre- An amazing score, but it needs to be reworked.
A Tale of Two Cities- How did this not succeed? Mediocre writing... This should have been a hit. Reworked, this could be a great show.
Bonnie and Clyde- This needs a second change. Truly a good show.
Wonderland- Now hear me out! I don't think Wonderland itself needs a revival. It needs a complete make over. The show has a great selling point "Alice in Wonderland." But this show was ALL wrong. If the show was completely reworked and not full of crap, I can see this show working.
Sideshow- I love this show! I would love to see it on broadway again.

I really want to see a falsettos revival with Emily Skinner as Charlotte.

They revised the score to Jane Eyre. The revised version was performed by Masquerade Theatre in Houston, TX.

I would LOVE a PARADE revival on Broadway.
If you don't mind taking it as it turns out, it's a fine, fine LIFE!

"A Tale of Two Cities- How did this not succeed? Mediocre writing... This should have been a hit. Reworked, this could be a great show."
Jill Santoriello began working on that in the late 80s. If she couldn't work it into a great show in the 20 some years it took to get to Broadway then I don't think there is any more reworking that can be done to save it.

I wouldn't mind seeing Rocky Horror again. I thought the 2000 revival was amazing.
If Wonderland were to be revived I think the Tampa 2011 version should be used, it makes soooo much more sense!! That's the version that should've gone to Bway in the first place.

I'm a big fan of Inge too--but now I'm not sure to be excited or not about the revival, considering Roundabout's recen track record...

I would love to see a revival of Crazy for You. And much as I'm not one who insists that every revival of a show needs to recreate the original choreography, this is one where I would definitely want to see that. Stroman did some amazing work on that show and I can't imagine anybody currently working who could top it.
