One On This Island-Def! I love that show!
Seussical-Yes, but if they put in some edits.
Funny Girl-Only is Ana Gaystner is Fanny Brice
West Side Story-If Natalie Cortez was Anita, John Selya was Riff, Matt Morrison was Tony, and Laura Benanti was Maria, I would so see it.

As much as I love his work to death, keep the West Side revival AWAY from Doyle!
I think that should would be fantastic with younger actors cast.. MUCH younger actors. I think that they could pull it off. If this turns into a "The Most Beautiful Sound I Ever Heard - THE REALITY SHOW! Pick your Maria and Tony from SOMEONE across the country and it could be YOU!"... I will have to slap a bitch.
SondheimGeek: Is it slightly pathetic that you guys get to be Jedi bitches, and I'm Bitchy the Hutt?

Funny Girl--definitely!
Ana Gasteyer though? Isn't she a little old for the part? Fanny always seemed like a young woman to me...
Oh well. She's playing Elphaba now. I'm sure she could get away with it. I loved her in the concert version of Funny Girl.

Funny Girl - I agree with what Parks said about Ana Gasteyer. From the concert version I think that Julia Murney would make a fantastic Fanny.
West Side Story
Mame - My dream cast would be Patti LuPone as Mame and Christine Ebersole as Vera. HAH!
Follies
There wouldn't be lights bright enough!

I would really like there to be a revival of A Little Night Music.
I also agree with West Side Story.

LADY IN THE DARK- with an updated book, and Patti Lupone or Christine Ebersole as Liza Elliott.
This BADLY needs a revival, as it has yet to have one since originally opening in 1941

Whoever said "ANNIE" should really do their research... It's playing RIGHT NOW at Madison Square Garden. It comes around once every 10 years or so, the last time I can remember it being revived was 1997, I think... Coincidentally, I believe the same actor is playing Daddy Warbucks in this production. It's like "PETER PAN" - it never really goes away and definitely DOES NOT need a full-scale Broadway revival.
And there are rumors circulating already about the return of "ANYTHING GOES" starring Catherine Zeta-Jones. I don't know if they're true or not, but the rumors are there....
