With Evita returning to Broadway, what other shows by this great composer should be seen on the great white way? Any casting suggestions? There are alot of rumors about Aspects re-opening after the success of the London revival.
But what about his other pieces: Whistel Down the Wind, Sunset, Starlight Express, Song & Dance, etc.?

Whistle Down The Wind ... with a GOOD director who has a vision could work. Also The Beautful Game (The Boys in the Photograph), which is an unusual piece for ALW could be nice in an intimate theatre.
I'm rather hoping he gets Love Never Dies right first ... beautiful score.

Evita and Aspects are the ONLY ALW shows I can even stomach. (And my guess is that if Aspects returns, I'll find it just as annoying as I find his other work.)

Please please please don't let it be CATS. I actually think a review could be nice. Each of his shows has a song or two that I like but none of his shows really work great as a whole. Example: Song & Dance...I love "Tell Me On A Sunday" but I find the concept of the show itself sub-par.
The title of this show should be "What ALW shows should be revised" instead of "revived" because they are all plagued with problems and inconsistencies.

Sunset Boulevard with Fran Drescher as Norma and Charles Shaughnessy as Max. Role reversal!
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.
