There is a difference between closing too soon and needing a revival. Your list is getting ridiculous. :-P
I'd love to see BAT BOY finally gets its day on Brodway. I'd like for SEUSSICAL to have another go on the great white way, but after they out-of-town it and really revamp the show even more so than they have already.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

"This table, he is over one hundred years old. If I could, I would take an old gramophone needle and run it along the surface of the wood. To hear the music of the voices. All that was said." - Doug Wright, I Am My Own Wife
Well, I'll put in my two cents anyway...West Side Story and Chess get my vote...but Julia Murney needs to be in Chess...let me repeat...NEEDS to be in Chess.

You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree. ~Dirty Rotten Scoundrels~
There's a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams. Sometimes we're not too certain what's false and what's real. But we're seldom in doubt about what we feel. ~Curtains~
It is a far, far better thing I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest I go to, than I have ever known. ~A Tale of Two Cities ~
The Man Who Came To Dinner (my favorite play) was *JUST* on Broadway!! So was Little Shop, Frog and Toad, Peter Pan, and Into the Woods.
ONCE ON THIS ISLAND does need a second go, however.

Noises Off was JUST revived five years ago, with LuPone, Peter Gallagher, Richard Easton, Katie Finneran (who won the Tony) and (the newly out) T.R. Knight.
Candide was revived less than a decade ago and it flopped badly, so it's doubtful it'll be back anytime soon (it also just had an all-star televised concert last year).
Passion also just had a major televised concert. Though the original won the Tony, it was a major box office failure so it's doubtful there'll be a full revival any time soon (if ever).
