Every so often the question is discussed: how often should theater revive its classics? Should it be like opera and put them in rotation more often?
How often should we revive Gypsy, West Side Story, Death of A Salesman, The Glass Menagerie, etc?

Posted: 10/20/10 at 5:27pmEvery other season. Heck, Gypsy's almost there already, why not do it a little more often. Except plays. Plays should be done every season. First with a white cast, then black, then Asian...
