srs topics deserve srs threads.
I personally would love to see A Little Night Music and Passion revived. though I'm not sure of casts for either one.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

He's a faker, and you've been taken in by his con. And in doing so, you are enabling him. He is doing more damage to aspergers than papa's words ever could. -Chane/Liverpool on me having asperger syndrome.

oo, yes, I agree with Anyone Can Whistle and Merrily. I've listened to both, and can follow ACW MUCH better than I can Merrily.
I know next to nothing about Saturday Night, but I guess that should be reason enough for me to want it on Broadway.

Truth be told, I don't like SATURDAY.
And the only thing I like about MERRILY is the score.
ANYONE CAN WHISTLE has always been 50/50, as well. I don't think ANYONE CAN WHISTLE can ever be a successful musical.

Posted: 3/26/08 at 11:15pmI don't want to see any Sondheim show revived. I want to see a NEW Sondheim show!
#10re: What Sondheim show WOULD you like to see revived?
Posted: 3/26/08 at 11:16pmA LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC, the fact that it hasn't been revived is ridiculous.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Follies (with Donna Murphy and Victoria Clark, please)
Sweeney (original staging or some variant, with Bernadette Peters)

Assassins - I didn't see the 2004 "revival," would really like to see a professional production
Into the Woods - anything would be better than the last revival!
Passion

Posted: 3/26/08 at 11:42pmI forgot MERRILY. That's in the works. At least I hope it still is.
#18re: What Sondheim show WOULD you like to see revived?
Posted: 3/26/08 at 11:50pmIf Doyle's version is good, I'd love to see it make a transfer to Broadway.

No thanks. Good things were not said for the Doyle version.
I am more interested in the rumored Roundabout version.
#20re: What Sondheim show WOULD you like to see revived?
Posted: 3/26/08 at 11:55pmOh so am I. I'd much rather see the Roundabout's version. I basically meant that I'd like to see any version of it come to Broadway. And since Doyle's is the only one that has happened so far, I thought if it were good, it could transfer.

Posted: 3/27/08 at 12:01amHow about A Little Night Music with Angela Lansbury (as Madame) and Christine Ebersole as Desiree?

I want a great FOLLIES production that keeps Kathleen Marshall 50 miles away from the theatre, starring Victoria Clark and Donna Murphy.
I also want Encores! to do ANYONE CAN WHISTLE with Meryl Streep as Cora, Jane Krakowski as Nurse Apple, and Neil Patrick Harris as Hoover.
After all that, PASSION with Laura Benanti as Clara (though apparently her dream role is Fosca).
