Superman with Cheyenne Jackson in the lead.

Now with the upcoming Spiderman & Shrek musicals, a comic book character should work.

1. Not likely
2. Too many recent revivals
3. Great score but it flopped badly so doubt it
4. Know nothing about it.
5. This will always be revived - thank god.
6. Kind of doubt it unless limited by Roundabout or Lincoln Ctr
7. Good shot
8. Know nothing about it.
9. Obscure but fun - could happen
10.Enjoyed it but it was a mega bomb so doubt it more than #1

I hate the fact that I'm so Broadway new, because I missed the opportunity to see shows like "Aida" and "Sunset Blvd," including the tours. I would like to see both of them revived for my own selfish means, though I'm sure I'm going to get chit for it.

No I just think he would be great in those 2 roles. I could not see him playing Mack Sennett or for him in Follies.

A Little Night Music.

I would love to see that revival of A Little Night Music that gets brought up every couple of seasons to actually happen. Too bad it doesn't seem like it will happen soon enough for Glenn Close to play Desiree, but hey, she would also make a pretty good Madame Armfeldt.

I would also love to see The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas brought back. I don't know why, but I have a soft spot for that score.

Also, just based on the score, Rags. There is some amazing music in that show. However, from the history I know, it would need some major script doctoring, as I understand that was a huge factor in its early demise on Broadway.

I personally do not want to see another revival of Follies until somebody is willing to put up the necessary cash to make it as big and opulent as the original production was. Scaled back Follies just doesn't work.

There are some revisals that I'd really like to see. These are obvious from me, as I'm a bit of a flop collector, but here goes.

"Carrie" (because I know enough work has been done to fix it that Dean Pitchford should stop being bitter)
"Rockabye Hamlet" (just to piss a couple people off, and see what the new version is like...apparently it was the staging that sank it in '76)
"Dance of the Vampires" (the German version)

Not necessarily a revival, but Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella with Laura Benanti in the title role.

Follies (with Donna Murphy and Victoria Clark)

A Little Night Music (with Lansbury and Ebersole)

Evita (with anyone who can handle the crazy belting in "A New Argentina)

Funny Girl (with anyone who "looks" the part and can live up to Streisand)

Chess

Sweeney Todd with the original staging (with Bernadette Peters as Lovett)

Side Show

Assassins (I know it was just done, but I didn't get a chance to see it, so I want another revival for selfish reasons)
Secret Garden

I would LOVE to see a revival of The Secret Garden, especially with Laura Benanti as Lily and Kerry Butler as Martha.
