You Choose: Any Revival of Any Musical

Since the popular Spider-man thought has been that the budget of that show could fund several other large productions, let's hear some opinions on revivals that you would fund.

Which musical is just begging for a big budget revival?

I'd die to see a big scale "City of Angels" revival on Broadway. I worship the cast album, but have never had the chance to see a production of it anywhere. The set design just seems to be calling for a rethought and big budget production. And the score hasn't aged a day since it was written- absolutely classic.

No Strings. Doesn't necessarily have to be "big budget" if done by Roundabout. Bring Heather Headley back to Broadway, or use it as a star vehicle for Beyonce.

Cabaret, Sunset Boulevard, and The King and I are definitely at the top of my list.

Crazy for You

I feel Broadway is ready to see a big, flashy musical with plenty of tapping (and the best of the Gershwin catalog) again. Though it didn't turn a profit (I believe, and mostly due to just a very high weekly operating budget) the revival of 42nd Street ran for almost a full four years, showing that when things in the country kind of suck audiences love lavish old-fashioned entertainment.

Follies
Pippin
Mystery of Edwin Drood

You could probably do all three with just the money Spiderman costs.

I would love to be able to see Mame and (although a transfer of the off-broadway revival) Angels in America. Just finished watching the HBO movie and now it's almost sold out and only have tickets for days I can't attend.

PIPPIN.

Or how about just staging Lolita, My Love or Prettybelle?

Though it's a bit soon, Urinetown.

I second The King and I and Drood. A big budget revival of either of those could be a dream.

I second Urinetown!
My thoughts:

Secret Garden
Man of LaMancha (With Sara Ramirez as Aldonza/Dulcinea)
Maybe a little too soon but a big production of Sweeney Todd and or Into the Woods?

I fourth Crazy For You and third Once On This Island.

I was just thinking about how we need an Island revival yesterday. Such a lovely show.

Just one? It would be On The Twentieth Century. After that, in order, would be:

Mame
City Of Angels
Drood
Hello, Dolly
Pippin
Call Me Madam
