I know there was a post last week about shows that SHOULDN'T be revived. Does anyone have any ideas on shows that SHOULD be revived. Not shows you have to love, just shows that you think would do good for broadway business.
I'm not really a fan, but I think a new production of Sweeney Todd would do well on Broadway. It hasn't been done in awhile and I know many people love it.

didn't those three just get revived within the past 10 years?
Pippin
Children of Eden (should make it to broadway)
and any show that got screwed should have a second chance i.e. Parade, Ragtime. Etc.

"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."

Posted: 8/15/04 at 2:51pmRagtime and Parade. Those are two of the best shows I have ever seen. Also, Marie Christine...I didn't see it, but I have the CD and think that I would LOVE it.

Posted: 8/15/04 at 10:33pmWhat makes Sweeny Todd a shoe in for great business? Not doubting that it would - i love the music. Just wondering your thoughts.

Posted: 8/15/04 at 10:41pmI agree with the millie in a few years comment, How to Succeed, Guys and Dolls, and I'd really like to see Les Miz come back in a year or two.
