We have this question at least once a week, and my answer is always the same.
Ragtime.

As much as I love Ragtime, I think it's still too soon.
However, it is not too soon for another brilliant Ahrens and Flaherty show. Once on this Island needs to be revived, now.

Posted: 12/17/06 at 1:01pmSouth Pacific is being revived next season at Lincoln Center, directed by Bartlett Sher (Light in the Piazza, Awake and Sing!) I'm really looking forward to it. It's probably the last truly top tier Broadway musical not to have a major Broadway revival.
Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

A Little Night Music. Hands down
And Once on this Island
And I agree, it's too soon for Ragtime, but it will need a revival in ten years

BroadwayBound062,
There's a great cast all lined up for a new national tour of Camelot that launches in California next month. It stars Michael York, Rachel York and James Barbour. Now if they were to somehow transfer to B'way, I'd be in favor of that revival.
I'd also like to see City of Angels come back someday. I think it would be super if Rachel York were cast as Oolie/Donna this time around.
I also love Mack and Mabel. I wonder how the recent London production of that was? I could see Brent Barrett playing Mack Sennett - or Michael Cerveris. Maybe Kerry Butler as Mabel?

Posted: 12/17/06 at 2:38pmYou know, I think WEST SIDE STORY could use a revival...

Or THE GLORIOUS ONES could go to Broadway. It's World Premeire is in Pittsburgh, but I'm not sure as to if it's an out of town tryout ordeal or what.
Theatre is a safe place to do the unsafe things that need to be done.
