BRIGADOON is the obvious choice. Deserves a full production, another L&L classic, swathed in tradition that could really use fresh eyes (apologies to AE's expected retort here), and boy would the Highlands look stunning on that vast stage in the right hands.
In a few years, She Loves Me. The Roundabout production was ridiculously perfect, but I do think Sher could work wonders with it. Also (this might be an unpopular opinion, but I think it’s a good show, bar the last few pages) Oliver might work? The Sound Of Music and West Side Story are also no-brainers.
The Most Happy Fella would be amazing. I agree that Caroline, or Change needs to come back to Broadway. It's never been so relevant. Although, I don't know if it's too small a show for the Vivian Beaumont. The VB is both intimate, but also really expansive and sprawling. I'd love to hear Caroline with some beefed up orchestrations.
"Now that we know that My Fair Lady is following in the footsteps of the triumphant The King and I (2015) and South Pacific (2008)..."
We do? That comes as news to me!
"What are some other musicals you'd love to see Bart Sher and Lincoln Center remount in the Vivian Beaumont in the future? "
None.
Not a one.
Not a single one.
Ever.
Not after this slap in the face, punch in the stomach, and big fat glob of spit in the eye to Lerner and Loewe, to the theatregoing public, to the theatre.
No one is forcing you to go. Assuming you actually do. Personally, I doubt it. I think you are too busy being a posturing troll to actually go to the theatre.
A Sher-directed Most Happy Fella would be an absolute dream come true. I'd love to see him tackle Sunday in the Park with George somewhere down the line too!
Oh Hateful Eight. Shame on anyone who doesn’t agree with you. And shame on Bart Sher for making a choice. And you’re still going to see everything he does in the future (or at least say you did) so you can bitch and moan about it here.
Wish he was directing this cast of Carousel. They're giving great vocal performances, but he could've gotten some stunning acting performances from them too.
During the waltz in Fair Lady I thought it would be great to see what this team would do with A Little Night Music on that stage. Should be mounted for Sondheims 90th coming up. He should stage Follies at The Met
I definitely echo the majority of these specifically Follies, Sound of Music, West Side Story and I would like to add that I think he could do something spectacular with The Greatest Showman if it comes to Broadway. I know we love his revivals of classic, but I think this would be an inspired choice.
Sher's Lincoln Center three magnum opuses have been thought-provoking epic musical dramas which serve as palimpsests for the contemporary audience's near occupational examination of identity politics. If we envision that kind of series continuing (should we? must we? or is it time for a change? - people will likely disagree on that), then LOST IN THE STARS, LADY IN THE DARK and PACIFIC OVERTURES would be the most natural progressions.
