Anyone Can Whistle
Brilliant Score. Misunderstood Book.
Merrily We Roll Along
It was too ahead of its time, I think.

Carrie-What else!??!! If Debbi Allen would have really choreographed her numbers and not done the same ol' routines that she's always done the dancing would have been wonderful. If the rest of the show was as powerful as the mother daughter scenes it would have been amazing.
Annie Warbucks-the little show that could. After all the bad press that Annie 2: Miss Hannigan's Revenge caused Annie Warbucks came in with preconcieved notions about what it was. It was a wonderfuly cute show.
Dance of the Vampires-they should have killed Michale Crawford off from that production from DAY ONE!!! the original version is already magnificent. I think that if no one had ever heard Total Eclipse of the Heart before that song would have worked.

LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS! Without Jerry Zaks! Bring in a director who isn't afraid to go for as much of a realistic approach as possible, as opposed to playing the entire show for laughs. And bring back Alice Ripley! It's truly a good show; it has good bones, but the Broadway revival production just wasn't up to par, and it is unfortunate that it had to close.

I honestly don't think Last 5 Years would do any better because people just simply like bigger casts better...
The music is great but i get sick of it half way through cuz its always the same people

How come everyone always talks about doing The Golden Apple, but nobody ever actually does it?
Behind the fake tinsel of Broadway is real tinsel.

I gotta say that I'm not in the game of thinking about revising shows until they work on the Broadway stage because you only get one shot and if you screw it up you move onto the next project. No one ever got anywhere by reworking the same project forever.
That said, I think that shows that deserve a second chance at Encores! perhaps are:
Plain and Fancy
Love Life
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
The Golden Apple
The Unsinkable Molly Brown
High Spirits
Fade Out -- Fade In
and countless others that are slipping my mind . . .

I did a production of "A Tree Grows In Brooklyn", in 1969 (the first since its Broadway run), and it was a very elaborate, first-rate production, which generated a lot of buzz, at the time (Broadway showed interest, and PBS wanted to record it, but negotiations fell through). I know Encores is doing it; but I would love to see a full-blown production on a Broadway stage, of the version that we did, which included the song "Tuscaloosa", which was cut from the Broadway production.
