Ok. . . I agree with ALL of you EXCEPT those who liked Cats. . . I can't believe it lasted as long as it did. . . . and I'm only talking about the Gus the Theater Cat number.
. . . It appears that NO ONE mentioned the roundabout revival of NINE!!!! They FLOODED THE STAGE EACH NIGHT!!! It was the most beautiful and perfect peice of musical theater I've ever seen. I wish it were still open and with Eartha Kit still in it.
but other than that I second (and 3rd and 4th. . .) everyone's ideas! Ragtime. . . Les Miz. . . AWESOME!
Les Mis Assassins The King and I (but only if Yul Brynner awoke from the dead) CARRIE!!!! Gem of the Ocean Merrily We Roll Along with different concepts and staging Sweeny Todd Raisen In The Sun A Little Night Music Coco! (haha jk) Evita
1) Big River - (The Deaf West production, I saw the tour, and it was incredible) 2) Millie - (Only if Sutton and Gavin were back in it together) 3) Les Mis - (Why did it close and PHANTOM is still running?!?) 4) Urinetown - (with Hunter and JLT)
I have yet to see a show actually on Broadway. But my school did Jane Eyre last year, and I would of loved to scene that on Broadway, I heard it got taken off almost right away.
Les Miserables!!! Aida (even though I kind of wished it closed before all the crazy stunt-casting) Nine (recent revival)
Shows I wished were still open because I love the music, but never got to see it live: Caroline, or Change Taboo Miss Saigon

dance of the vampires and dracula are, in my opinion, amazing shows, and it saddens me that the critics couldn't see that. they should definitely still be running.

Suit on up and come brace my sword
You look back when the pieces are missing
Hollowed out hope that no time can restore."
