The same question I previously had with Cate Blanchett, does Matthew Rhys even sing?

When André Bishop & Bartlett Sher were on Theater Talk's recent episode covering My Fair Lady, Bishop did mention that he thought about Show Boat, but finds the book to be more than problematic.

Does Cate Blanchett even sing?

I'd also love a Lincoln Center production of Oliver!. I feel like Bart Sher could get into the darkness of the show.

I've been thinking the same thing! I also think Danny Burstein would make an interesting choice for Fagin."

Blanchett has a surprisingly good singing voice. She has enough of a voice to sing Mame and would act the sh*t out of that role. She'd be great in A Little Night Music too. Rhys would be incredible in Camelot. He's an great actor. Danny Burstein would be a great Fagin, as would Mandy Patinkin.

I can't see Cate Blanchett as Mame at all. The character is pretty brassy and earthy, while Cate always strikes me as being elegant and composed...even when she's trying not to be.

After Eight, there must be a director working today who could handle a musical revival as you see fit. Not a fan of Sher or Zaks?

Also, I will never forgive Josh Gad for fooling us about a FORUM revival at last year's Tony ceremony...curse you Josh Gad!

I was so excited when Flower Drum Song made its latest run. I always found the movie to be so cute with some great choreography and songs. I really liked Salonga and Llana when I saw it at the Mark Taper prior to its brief Broadway run.

Whatever it was that didn't work with the book (which seemed to be the biggest complaint) I'd like to see revamped and try it again.

A fully staged version of the recent BRIGADOON concert.

Never having seen FIORELLO but loving the album, I'd really like to finally see a fully staged production of the show.

A vote for DRAT! THE CAT! too which has a fun score and storyline.

Always been curious of the show LOVE LIFE which I know little about.

Having been fortunate to have grown up in NYC in the latter part of this period I got to see the classic hits (and misses) that I never would've been able to see on my own. Problem is having sat thru some of the more recent revivals I don't think I've ever seen the original bettered in cast or production values such as THE MUSIC MAN, 110 IN THE SHADE, SWEET CHARITY, CHICAGO as well as shows from the next decade such as ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY, SWEENEY TODD, ANNIE, A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC and A CHORUS LINE. And let's not even get into the scaled down orchestras for these revivals. A perfect case of producer's greed even when paying exorbitant ticket prices. Except for some like Bartlett Sher who makes a theatre goer realize just how exciting a full live orchestra pit can sound.

Minnie's Boys with Tyne Daly.

I am jonesing to see a good production of CAMELOT on Broadway at some point. Mostly so we can get a complete cast recording, which includes the Persuasion.
