I'd also like to see a production of Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris.

I want a proper production of Evita, and not just the low-budget Kenwright touring version. It is an amazing show, if done right.
Same thing goes for Hairspray.

I also really regret not seeing the Ernest Hemingway musical - Ernie Get Your Gun or whatever it was called - but there is no chance of that ever coming back.

No votes for Monkee Business, the Monkees jukebox musical?
I'm shocked.
(Yes I saw it.)

I warmly second 'Carmen Jones' (so long it is not done with an all-white cast – sorry, but I couldn't resist that one re the all-white 'Porgy and Bess') but at one time I was obsessed with the Broadway cast album of 'Tenderloin' (Bock & Harnick 1960) and I would love to see it performed, but whether it would be stageworthy today I have no idea. It ran only 216 performances in 1960. This looks to be being revived Off Broadway. John Doyle directing and Anika Noni Rose playing the title role. www.playbill.com/article/tony-winner-anika-noni-rose-to-star-in-carmen-jones-off-broadway |

That's good news about 'Carmen Jones'. The piece in Playbill says it has never had a major revival on Broadway since its first production in 1943. It is a great show and more than does justice to Bizet's 'Carmen'. The Otto Preminger movie with Dorothy Dandridge, Harry Belafonte and Pearl Baily is top class and the London revival in 1991 at the Old Vic showed just what a stage-worthy piece Hammerstein's adaptation is. Gary Wilmot played Joe (Don José) for part of the run.

Hopefully, there will be a wider tour, but audiences in Ipswich and Hornchurch will be able to see Once in the autumn. |

Top of my list would have to be West Side Story with or without new choreography. The Jerome Robbins choreography is so iconic and spectacular and intrinsic to the piece but equally it could be completely re-imagined. But it is (IMO) one of the very best musicals of all time.
Speaking of one of the best musicals of all time - My Fair Lady surely is due for a major revival - does Cam Mack still hold the West End rights?
Plus I'd love to see Camelot and Brigadoon - wonderful scores although the books may need some tweaking.
Plus - completely off the wall but as juke box musicals can be so popular I am amazed someone hasn't done a new show based on the music of Ivor Novello like they did with Gershwin Girl Crazy/Crazy For You. Some of these old shows could be very successfully revived with a new adaptation like Stephen Fry did with Me & My Girl.

I wouldn't be shocked if the current Broadway revival of My Fair Lady transfer to the West End eventually. Brigadoon would be great at either Chichester, the Open Air or the National on the Olivier stage. |

My first west end show! And there are enough charismatic young men to play Billy Fisher at the moment. Those of you touting "Brigfriggindoon" need to have a good talk to yourselves. Trite rubbish with one song, but that's just my opinion. Not so much a revival but a first showing in the West End of a previous Broadway hit, so it is a revival of sorts - " The Boy from Oz". I won't mention who I would cast as Peter Allen or you'll likely come round and break me windows!!!! |
