Posted: 6/24/12 at 8:34amI saw the original production of THE SOUND OF MUSIC in 1960. I went to the theatre with misgivings, but ended up loving the musical. It has a very strong book and, except for the cloying "Do Re Mi" has an excellent score. But why change the orchestrations? With the right cast, including the 2nd leads, it could be a hit again. When was it last revived?

Posted: 6/24/12 at 12:49pmI would love if AIDA was revived. I know they won't, but if Lincoln Center mounted a revival it would be spectacular.

Posted: 6/24/12 at 7:37pmI wonder why there wasn't an American transfer of the ALW Production of The Sound Of Music?

Posted: 6/24/12 at 9:51pmI'd like to see a revival of Billy Elliot in about 15 years set in the round, instead on a normal Proscenium stage.

Posted: 6/24/12 at 10:32pmThe recent London production of The Sound of Music was very good, I saw it twice in London and once on tour, I do think that it didn't transfer because it was too soon after the 1998 Broadway revival and it would have needed a big theatre like the Palace or the Broadway. It did transfer to Toronto where they did the reality show to find Maria.

Perfect casting!! Get the Asian girl from Spring Awakening/Glee so we have a big name in the lead, and maybe MattMo or something as Chris and we've got a show!
