It just has to be revived soon. Please, Broadway gods?

Those were all flops!
Was that a joke, or did you really like all of those shows?

I like a lot of those, some I could care less about but whatever. I need Drowsy back, it was amazing. I saw a Center Stage production in Baltimore of Little Night Music and it was very good. I think Dream Girls would do very well.

Posted: 5/12/08 at 10:12pmI heard something about "Dreamgirls" doing a tryout in Seoul, South Korea in 2009, and then doing a 10 city tour in the US in 2010, with a Broadway production in 2010.

Posted: 5/12/08 at 10:16pm"The Scarlet Pimpernel." I saw it on tour and absolutely loved it. I know it didn't do so well on Broadway, but I wish it could have another chance.

Posted: 5/12/08 at 10:58pmDrowsy and Ragtime need to be brought back. No, No, Nanette needs to transfer.

Both parts of Angels In America!!!!
And I'd love to see a revival of Carrie.
It would make my life to see these 2 (3?) shows live on Broadway.

Ragtime, Cabaret, Into the Woods. No one would take me seriously if I mentioned Pirate Queen, but I miss the pretty dancing and the music. 
And someone needs to do something with Glockner von Notre Dame exactly as it was in the German production...only in English. I know there are threads on this already, but it needs to be revived in some capacity whether on Broadway or on tour or even in the West End. I don't want them to tamper with it either.
