Shows that have to be revived!

Posted: 8/7/05 at 1:04am

I wanted to know what shows people thought should be revived and whether they should stick to the original material or make a "revisal" like "Cabaret."
I personally think a revival of "Sunday in the Park with George" is way overdue. I also think there should be a revival of "Kiss of the Spider Woman" but I don't know what actress could take on the title role. Any other suggestions?

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

BYE BYE BIRDIE.

Done properly with the right revisions it would be great. BBB is the type of family Broadway entertainment that families are looking for.

All they have to do - is add the new songs from the 95 Movie, some orchestrations definitely need to be updated, I would like them to use some of the orchestrations from the 95 movie. And with some book updates - this would be a great revival.

*cough* MILLIE *cough*

Yeah... it closed a year only like a year and a half ago... but I think it was underrated... wasn't the BEST show on Broadway ever, but it was good enough to run longer than it did. I'd just take the sets that are probably still in the Marquis dumpster, under all the la-cage fake boobs, and put them back on the Marquis stage.

How'd I manage to forget how to spell Marquis??

I honestly think Millie should not have happened so I don't think it should be revived. Now, Falsettos, definitely!!! What about Applause?

I wouldn't mind a Tommy revival either, but that's probably 5 years away at least.

Side Show would be great also.

The Secret Garden

AH, yes...Secret Garden would be awesome.

Although, they could hold off on it just a little while so that Norbert Leo Butz could play Archibald and I'd be a happy camper.

Bare. I would really love it if they got the OOBC to be in it, but it's still a great show either with or without them.

ITA with A Little Night Music. I loved the LA Opera's production and think it would be perfect for a broadway run. Can we only hope someone is smart enough to cast Victor Garber as Frederik? He was perfect for the part.
