What musicals do you think Encores will wanna do in the future?

Some that I feel they will definitely revive are:

-Fun Home

-Tuck Everlasting

-A Gentlemens Guide to Love and Murder

-American Idiot

-Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812 (If a revival isn't already taking place by then)

I think they’ll eventually revive Kander and Ebbs more recent work like Curtains, Scottsboro boys, and the visit.

Bandstand

Groundhog Day

Bridges of Madison County


Groundhog Day - For sure

Bridges - Yes, but before then I'm looking for a lavish 10th anniversary concert production.

No way that Kelli O'Hara is not going to play her favorite role again before she gets too much older. Everyone now wants to hear that score.sung.

Bandstand - I have just a thought that this show may stick around to be brought back on Veterans' Day at various venues,. since I'm pretty sure that it is the only Broadway musical that tells the story of the plight of returning veterans while at the same time having lively period dance numbers by a now famous choreographer. 

Of course there's a film of the original production. Not sure how that would affect matters.

What’s also interesting about the show is that it’s critical of America’s treatment of veterans and insensitivity to PTSD while still being incredibly patriotic and honoring those who served in our military. I’m surprised it doesn’t have more of a following among conservative theatregoers.

I don't know if Bandstand was around long enough to develop much of a following with anyone. 

But it has received official recognition from a veterans group called "Got Your Six" or something close to that and they will be around to support it. I volunteered way back in the 90's in a homeless shelter in the ritzy Long Island Village of Port Jefferson. We had a colony of four or five Vietnam vets who lived on the streets and a few times I drove one to the hospital for the DT's. Worse off even was the brother of a young lady who also volunteered at the homeless shelter. Her brother had disappeared into one of those horrible state Victorian mental institutions, probably never to emerge.

I’m surprised it doesn’t have more of a following among conservative theatregoers.

It seems intuitively correct that the show would be more popular with conservative theatregoers and the touring company did very well in the places they visited that had military bases nearby. At a number of stops veterans' groups publicized and attended to honor all vets or to honor a particular veteran who had a hard story.

But I think that if you wrote that New York was not as concerned about veterans as many more conservative parts of the country, you would have to duck to avoid all the stones thrown at you.

I had come across a reference to John Simon being critical of the fact that Bandstand was almost completely snubbed by the Tonys. I wondered if that review was a surprise. I just knew him as a curmudgeon who was often in the middle of controversy.. After scanning his Bio, that's just a place I'd rather not visit.

Rocky, Hands on a Hardbody, and The Band's Visit come to mind. Going back a little further, A Class Act, James Joyce's The Dead, and maybe even Bernarda Alba. Depending on if it's returned to Broadway in the next couple of decades, 25th Annual Putnam could be a contender.

I would LOVE to see them tackle Women on the Verge.

I've also been thinking Dogfight as a definite contender as well

Probably for another thread, but your Dogfight suggestion makes me wonder what they will revive for the off-center series.

Marie Christine. I actually would love it if an opera company did it, too and we got it live from Lincoln Center style.
