What would be your dream Revival? I really have to think about it more for me to decide.

One that I wanted to see, although probably won't happen now:

Nunsense

Tyne Daly as Mother Superior
Lillias White as Hubert
Mary Testa as Robert Anne
Sutton Foster as Leo
Kristen Chenoweth as Amnesia


If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Anthony Warlow^ as Sweeney Todd and Bernadette Peters as Mrs Lovett.

Donna Murphy as Rose.


^ Amended in 2012 to Mandy Patinkin.


"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022) "Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009) "Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Many people hate it, I know but I love it. Aaron Tveit as Joseph = dream come true.

Also, I know it's not happening anytime soon or may not happen at all...but I really miss RENT.

I'd love to see a revival of She Loves Me, especially with most of the cast I saw at the Huntington in 2008. Kate Baldwin was a divine Amalia.

Cabaret w/Scarlett Johansson



...but I guess that would be better suited for film.

Well, I've been wishing for a revival of HOW TO SUCCEED... for a while, and it looks like this season I get my wish! So I'm very excited for that.

I would also love to see a revival of THEY'RE PLAYING OUR SONG. Didn't Roundabout or another non-profit company do a reading of that show recently with Sherie Rene Scott and Norbert Leo Butz? I think I remember hearing that...love that cast!

Smile with Jane Krakowski as Brenda.

And I know he's played the role before (Kennedy Center, I think?) but I'd love to see Raul Esparza as Charley in Merrily We Roll Along.

MW08, yeah i would love a joseph revival. lots of really talented young male actors these days. aaron would be great...i would love jon groff personally, his voice is gorgeous. i know a lot of people have something against ALW, and i agree some of his shows aren't the greatest but joseph was the first musical i ever fell in love with (the donny osmund video version) and i never got to see it live. some day i hope so.

I'm very hot to trot for a Crazy for You revival. I have a copy of the production that was filled at Papermill. I can't watch it without smiling. I'd love to experience that live.
