I would love to see the following shows back on broadway:
Miss Saigon
Tommy
Ragtime (maybe a transfer of the new Kennedy Ctr. production?)
Disclaimer:
I searched for a similar thread, and I didn't find one even though I know there is one out there somewhere. I can't spend the entire day searching for variations of "back on broadway", "revivals you want to see", etc. If you find one, that's great, but even if you do, maybe a new one is in order.

oooooh! Dracula with Gorey sets would be fantastic!
I also second Ragtime, Chess and Crazy for You. Crazy for You was the first show I ever saw but I don't remember much since I was about five years old or so at the time.

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
