Why an update?
Update the Marx Brothers or Old Hollywood?
Saw it on Broadway and it is fine just as it is.

I didn't realize that Hollywood ushers and songs are so tap heavy and they'd be compared to 20th Century porters, also the deco style. I mean I like all that, I've only heard the cd and I would love to see it done. Marx songs seem to still work.

A Night in the Ukraine is hilarious. I'd love to see it on Broadway. I saw a couple of productions as a kid, including one in which my sister played the female lead (the Margaret Dumont-ish role) opposite a "Groucho" (or, rather, Serge B. Samovar) who was about a foot shorter than her, which made it even funnier. I also performed "The Production Code" in the same production, even though I had never tap danced before in my life. It was a lot of work, and exhausting, but so much fun.

A Day in Hollywood / A Night in the Ukraine is one of my favorite musicals that I've never seen (and I highly doubt I will). That Priscilla Lopez song is probably also my favorite Jerry Herman song ever (which is also sad because I've never been able to find any good sheet music for the wonderful piano part).

Lopez played Harpo in the Marx Brothers part of the show.

Only know it from the OBC. Amazing songs, but the charm quotient seems way too high for today's audiences to find palatable. And who can match Miss Barbara Cook's shimmery heartbreaking soprano today?
I know it's not the same, but take a look at the Camera 3 production of THE GRASS HARP, only 28 minutes long but features original cast members Carol Brice and Ruth Ford, and about half of the score:

The 1984 musical that Muse clearly wants to write.

Wow, thanks, Jay. Had no idea anything from the show had been filmed. The curtain on the past parts just a little.

To continue the conversation with Jay a minute on THE GRASS HARP-- yikes, that Camera 3 video was just horrifying! My greatest fears of what a live production of Grass Harp might turn out to be. Obviously this was not a full production, just 4 actors and 2 pianos plink-plunking through 5 or 6 songs for a half hour, but oy, that was just the creepiest noxious overload of southern treacle, fake-boyishness by an adult with overalls on, and lots of hand-holding by middle-aged woman singing vaguely Jesus-inflected mush against a background set suitable for a nursery school pageant. Is that really what THE GRASS HARP was like onstage? I have to believe it was something much more potent.
Damn, I should have kept my visions of the show pure and untainted, just based on the hypnotic sounds on the glowing cast recording. Now I need to see a proper professional production all the sooner!

I would love to see the RSC's production of Nicholas Nickleby again. The show was perfection. I don't think I've ever laughed harder or cried more during a show - granted it really was two shows ... two long shows that flew by far too fast. The video, which was shot without an audience does not do this production justice.
I would also love to see Hal Prince's 1970's production of Candide, with the ramps and stages all around the audience. It was pure joy.
My final one would be Edward Gorys production of Dracula. The sets and costumes were brilliant.

He's been back for a couple of weeks under a new name.
