Another vote for Brigadoon. I've seen it once in the West End but it would be great at the Open Air.

Another vote for Brigadoon. I've not seen a professional version of it but several amateur ones when I was a child.

I'm amazed they haven't already done West Side Story!
Add me to the Music Man list!

I was obviously very young when I saw it (honest), but I can still remember with great fondness the 1995 production of The Music Man at OAT, with Brian Cox and Liz Robertson. By 'eck, it were warm that day!
My vote goes to South Pacific.

The Boyfriend was over 10 years ago now. Yikes. It doesnt seem like half that.
One of the Strallens was in it. God knows which one. They're all the same to me.

I know it’s not a musical but Hansel and Gretel by (the real) Engelbert Humperdinck is perfect for here. I saw a production several years ago at Holland Park and it was enhanced by being set in a real outdoors. Peacocks Calling and rabbits wandering around really helped create a magical atmosphere. It’s a fabulous piece that should be better known in GB.
I would have thought Into the Woods was equally suitable.

Hair could work well there, with a Woodstock festival feel to the surroundings.

Excellent suggestion for A Secret Garden and Oklahoma, that would really work!!!!
West Side Story although glorious, the production is very rigid on the requirements how it should be done, the National theatre found this, when they wanted to do it and had to abandon it. But if they could overcome that, it would be glorious in the open air.
Instead of doing revivals it would be great if they attempted to do a Broadway transfer of a new musical such as Bright Star or Bridges of Madison County.
As for revival Annie Get Your Gun or Stop the World I want to Get off jump to mind.

Personally, yes Id rather see something new and interesting transferred or produced over an age old classic revival (despite having voted Little Shop) |
