There is a cannon of about 10/15 musicals & the same number of plays that always get revived no matter what. Anything not on either list and people can hold their hand somewhere waiting for a revival.
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.
I would love to see One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - it is one of my favorite books, plays and movies. It was on Broadway in 1963 starring Kirk Douglas as Randle McMurphy and Gene Wilder as Billy Bibbit. It was revived off-Broadway in 1971, and again on Broadway by Steppenwolf Theatre Co. in 2001 with Gary Sinise as McMurphy. It won the Tony Award for Best Play Revival.
I've thought for the last several years (ever since I discovered the recording in high school) that I would love a revival of A Day in Hollywood / A Night in the Ukraine. I don't know why The Best in the World isn't a standard, because that is one hell of a story song. Priscilla Lopez earned her five-years-overdue Tony for her performance in the original production. I admit, i've never seen the show. Does anyone recall the original? Was it as fun as the recording has always led me to believe?
