Shows That Inexplicably Never Have Been Revived — Page 5

Margo, the Steel Pier score is charming and quite good. That must have kept you awake.

Anyway, there are many shows in need of a revival. Night Music, Birdie and South Pacific (though it is coming soon) come to mind. I would also like to throw in Golden Boy, which is very well written, it just got swept up in the Fiddler and Dolly craziness, though I enjoy it more than those two shows (Well, maybe not Hello, Dolly).

"The Golden Apple" - Though I'm sure that it is still too intelligent a show to be popular...

I have been wanting revival of "Pippin" just so that Nanette Fabray could be cast as Berte, so that I could see her in a musical before she dies.

Ana Gasteyer was a phenominal Fanny Brice here in Pittsburgh a couple of years ago. And, as the show starts in with a flashback, I'd say that she would need to be as old as she was whenever Nicky Arnstein got released from prison.

But Streisand is so ingrained in every fiber of "Funny Girl" that you would have to discover the next Barbra Streisand to make you forget the original Barbra Streisand if you were to mount the show again.

Hey! How about a reality contest show to do just that!

You can call it "Who Is The Pip With Pizzaz?"

I am still waiting for the day that THE WIZ comes back to broadway! This needs to happen.

The delusional qualities of this thread are so very, very amusing.

I agree with Funny Girl, Applause and Lestat (though that wont ever happen) and Carnival.

I would like to see a great revival of sunday in the park though. I know the west end one was supposed to transfer but I think broadway missed a big oppurtunity when Raul Esparza did it at the Kennedy Center.

Somebody mentioned on a previous thread what a great Dorothy Anika Noni Rose would be in the Wiz. I never got a chance to see Caroline or Change, but after seeing Dreamgirls and her awesome performance on the Oscars, her in a revival of The Wiz would be something I would run to.

I would love a revival of Aspects of Love.
