The Revival I am Yearning For!

Posted: 4/23/06 at 9:36am

Side Show!

I know its first run was in no way a success, but it has a decent following, and I think that this, like chicago, could be a great success in its revival. I know, some people are uncomfortable sitting in a theatre for two hours watching siamese twins (despite the fact that they are faux) onstage, but when I saw it at Gallery Players this year, it was in no way gross or something people would find strange. We need to see it back soon! Who agrees?

...What happened next, was stranger still, a woman breathless and afraid, appeared out of the night, completely dressed in white. She had a secret she would tell, of one who had mistreated her. Her face and frightened gaze, my mind cannot erase...But then she ran from view. She looked so much like you...

I would like to see a production of The Last 5 Years.

I would love for Sunday In The Park With George to be revived.

I wish Ragtime would come back.

and also... Bye Bye Birdie.

There may be hope!

Li'l Abner!!! I've never been able to see the show live!

Taboo, although I'm sure it won't compare to the original.

Carrie, just because someone had to say it.

I wouldn't be surprised if The Sunday in the Park in the west end, heads to Broadway after a great success. It was huge at the chocolate factory in London.

Anyway, not all people like side show, but i still think its brilliant, and I love Norm and Alice!

BYE BYE BIRDIE needs to come back.

And hey in 10 years if we got another SWEET CHARITY revival, this time with the Fosse choreography, more of the original book, and more of the original orchestrations - I won't be complaining!

I wish Stratford's Into the Woods could have transfered to NYC. You would all be blown away. I think it would be perfect because it reinvents the show but keeps everything that makes Into the Woods what it is.

Golden Apple - If you don't know this show, you owe it to yourself to get a copy and discover it
Grass Harp - Yes, it works better as a song cycle than as a show, but what songs...

I think REDHEAD could be revived. The score is quite good. The book needs revisions.

I think it could work. It just needs a triple threat leading ladie with a lot of personality.

<--------- Michelle DeJean would be great for it.
