Posted: 8/15/04 at 11:10pmSouth Pacific! Yeah it has been forever and the music is great. Its really moving. To think a show that was soooooo good has never been revived. Did anyone see that TV one they did with Harry Connick Jr. on ABC. What'd u think of that?

At this point it would just be called a "Re-Opening"
and that wouldn't bother me one bit. That show had no business closing. Mendes' CABARET was the best thing on Broadway.

Miss Saigon (for business)
March of the Falsettos, FalsettoLand, Falsettos, whatever just because they are so true and so great!
A queered version of A Chorus Line where the Priscilla Lopez character is the lesbian that my generation knew her to really be and where the queer boy is NOT the only queer boy in the show and he is NOT pathetic and he, God Damn it , wins this time(unless the Priscilla Lopez character does!)
Also: the queered version of Sondheim's Company - need I say more? Bobby, baby, Bobby, baby...

West Side Story would be a box-office smash, IMO.
Miss Saigon would also be good for business

Godspell...definately...but the production needs to be a really good one that captures the spirit of the original without trying to be "Hair" or "2395 a Space Odyssey."
P.S....does anyone else notice that theres a bit of a Stephen Schwartz theme here??
