In terms of plays, that Nathan Lane/Laurie Metcalf Death Of A Salesman revival needs to happen, especially since Ive never seen the play!! In terms of musicals, Urinetown please. If not Id be super happy with A Chorus Line returning. How about you guys?
I’m going to go back to 1997 and would love to see two Frank Wildhorn productions. Jekyll and Hyde and Scarlet Pimpernel. I’d love to see them with the original male leads Robert Cuccioli and Doug Sills and Terrance Mann. These men were amazing in their rolls. Their replacements were never able to adequately replace them.

Oh god yes. This.
Also, I've said it on these boards before, but I'll use this space to re- throw out my suggestion of a Michael Arden-helmed Children of Eden. I think he would do such a gorgeous job with it.
Same with a Barlett Sher-helmed Man of La Mancha.
But honestly, all I really want out of this/next year is for the Delacorte Hercules to be so amazing that they have no choice but to adapt it for Broadway. Pretty please!
Mame - If Mame seems overdue, it’s because it is. Original Broadway production opened in 1966 and ran for 1500 performances and almost five years. First and only Broadway revival opened in April, 1983, starred Angela Lansbury, and ran for four months.
Does anybody know the deal with that? (I just asked my Amazon Echo smart speaker to play the Mame OBC album and I’m listening to it, without moving a muscle.) Think the score, as a whole, stronger than Dolly. Some would disagree.
Grand Hotel - Since Encores, can’t get enough of “Let’s Take a Glass Together.” And “I Wanna Go To Hollywood,” “Who Couldn’t Dance with You.”
Show opened in 1989, ran over 1000 performances, Twelve Tony nominations, five wins. Never been revived.
I will stop saying Ragtime when it happens. It was revived in 2009 but only ran for a few months. I feel as though especially given the current political climate/state of the country, it would be really important and relevant now.
Also The Secret Garden, which they said last year we were getting a revival of this year, and we still don't have one, or even one in the works, from what I can tell...
you found your heart but left a part of you behind <3
