It's been a decade guys.
This thread is to discuss a Drowsy revival, this means cast, setting, directors, conductor, producers, everything.
The only requirements are that there has to be. Beth Level, Danny Berstein, and Bob Martin.
The rest is up to you.

I'd rather wait another few years to wait for Lesli Margherita to play the title role.

You obviously didn't read the question.
I just said that Beth needs to be Drowsy, I love Lesli and all, he's hilarious, but no one could beat Beth.
I'd love her as Janet though!

It's too soon. And then how is enjoying a great regional life.
(then again, it was too soon for a COLOR PURPLE revival, yet they made that work)
"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."

Why bother if you're going to use the same three leads?

Definitely too soon. It's produced so much in colleges and community theatre too as was said.

I'd like to see Sherie Rene Scott as the Chaperone.

I could even get behind giving Leavel a shot at Mrs. Tottendale, but not the Chaperone. Been there, done that, won a Tony for it. Burstein is even an intriguing choice for Man in Chair, but again, no need to relive the past.

Carol Channing as Mrs. Tottendale. No acting required at this point!

I'd love to see Jim Parsons play the man in the chair.

Eh, Idk, last musical I saw Jim Parsons in was "Elf: Buddy's musical adventure"
Remember how bad that was?
If he can redeem himself, sure.

What ever happened to the Drowsy Chaperone movie? There were reports that Geoffrey Rush had involved and Fred Schepisi was going to direct. Rush was going to play Man in Chair after playing the role on stage, and other Australian actors were rumored to be joining the cast.

I'd love to see a super starry revival with David Hyde Pierce as the Man In Chair, Megan Mulally as Janet and Sean Hayes as Robert.

Megan Mullaly is about 10 years too old for Janet, not that she would have ever been right for it anyway. She'd make a great Chaperone though. I also love the Sherie Rene Scott idea.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Megan would be fantastic as the chaperone I think. not as Janet though

Patti Murin as Janet. She's taking all of Laura Osnes' deserved roles anyway (I wanted to build a snowman with Osnes 
)

Aw, I'd love to see Laura take on Janet. Heléne Yorke as Kitty and Ciara Renée as Trix?
They/them.
