Shows that will NOT get revived — Page 4

The Sunday in the Park concert you are referring to is part of the Ravinia festival in Chicago. They are doing a Sondheim show every year for five years, I think. They have already done Sweeney (which went on to Carnegie Hall) and Night Music. I saw them do Passion last year and it was wonderful. Sondheim gave a pre-concert live interview with Q&A and took a bow after the concert. I'm looking forward to Sunday.

Jerry Herman has been making major revisions to Mack & Mabel and has said in interviews that it'll definitely be back on Broadway either next season or the season after (depending on when the Mame revival happens).

Irish Rep is currently looking at smaller Broadway venues for its current production of "Finian's Rainbow" that's gotten raves and been extended a couple of times.

"Little Me" is TOTALLY dependent on a star comic wanting to do it since it's such a great part. We'll see it again if a major comedic actor with musical chops (a Jim Carrey, a Nathan Lane) wants to revive it.

I doubt we'll see "Fosse" again -- one of the reason the producers and creative team allowed it to be filmed for television was that it probably unrevivable -- huge cast, huge running costs and other than Ann Reinking, who would be able to stage it again? (similar to "Jerome Robbins' Broadway" -- it would be very difficult to reassemble without the man himself being there, or barring that, the next best thing: Gwen Verdon, who's unforunately gone now, and is the reason half of those dances could be recreated).

I want seussical to be revived!!!

with good producers this time..and not a cut and paste production.. the tour was awesome!

VIOLET. now that was a terrible and strange show that will never see the stage again.

Margo and TripleStar -

Little Me was recently revived (1998-1999) starring Martin Short and Faith Prince.

Also, 1776 was recently done (97-9 with Brent Spiner.

She Loves Me and Finian's Rainbow both have received revivals in the past. If Finian returns, it will be the second revival.

Shogu, the Musical. The only noteable thing about the show was it was the first Broadway musical to have a song all about dildos.
