Re:What shows need to be revived???? - 2008/02/04 20:34Has anyone ever heard of "Destry Rides Again"? It starred Andy Griffith. I have the CD and it has one of the funniest scores I've ever heard. I believe it played in the very early 1960's before "The Andy Griffith Show". Perhaps the late 1950's. The director / choreographer was the late, great Michael Kidd. There was a dance number in it that was called "the whip dance". I never saw it, but it was really suppose to be something to see. When I listen to the music, it is just as funny or funnier than "The Producers". Mel Brooks acknowledges the show in the film version of "The Producers". A poster of "Destry...." is part of the Broadway theatre billboards in front of the theatre where "Springtime For Hitler" opens. I've never seen a production anywhere. I've been watching for it for years. I'd go see it even if it were just a little "Middle School" production.

Phantom needs to get its butt off Broadway. NOW. It's been on long enough. Let other musicals have a turn."Doctor Who, Doctor Who, does whatever a doctor can do.."
PREVIOUSLY: Sister Magaretta in The Sound Of Music
CURRENTLY: Les Misérables directed by Ivan Rutherford ))
UP COMING: Senior Ensemble's next show

Re:What shows need to be revived???? - 2008/03/21 19:32I love "Ragtime" and would like to see it revived, but at the same time I want to embrace the original with Bryan Stokes Mitchell, Audra MacDonald, and Marin Mazzie (and Lea Michele as the little girl)
On another note, I really would like to see more ORIGINAL musicals. When I say original, I mean it. Not based on movies or revivals of past hits (though most of the revivals are excellent and I was sad to see Company go).
I am truly excited about "In the Heights," which opened this month. It is my hope that "[title of show]" isn't too far behind.Danielle
Upcoming Auditions: "Into the Woods" (Fall 2008); "Noises Off" (Fall 2008); "How I Learned to Drive" (Fall 2008)
Dream Roles: Eponine (Les Miserables), Baker's Wife (Into the Woods), Emma Goldman (Ragtime), and Marcy (I Love You Because)

Re:What shows need to be revived???? - 2008/04/05 15:54Jason Robert Brown's Parade needs to be revived... The original production was a critical success but not a commercial one. A new Broadway production could be a hit, I'm hoping.
Also, the failed 80's musical "Baby" could probably be a cool revival, I think.

Re:What shows need to be revived???? - 2008/04/15 00:11i say Sweeney Todd (the original version with the double decker set and all that good stuff... i didn't care for the "revival" they already did), City of Angels would be really cool, and I would love to see Urinetown.
