Sweeney Todd has been done both in the West End and ENO so I think we won’t see a production for a while.

Romantics Anonymous would be an adorable Christmas musical at the Menier (I mean c'mon, Chocolate Factory!), though I wouldn't enjoy the ticket prices! This is a genius suggestion. That show was one of the most perfect trips to the theatre in the last few years and it would be a great fit for the space. As well as being a joyous show for christmas time. |

With Maggie Kirkpatrick - and her black leather gloves - reprising her role as Joan "The Freak" Ferguson, I hope.

With all the votes for Kiss of the Spiderwoman, i see Caroline O'connor is starring in a production in Melbourne, wonder if there's any chance of that coming to London?

Although I haven't seen it since the ENO one with the wonderful Emma Thompson so I am ready for another / the recent production in Liverpool sounded great so my parsley would be pushed if it came into town |

I've only seen Sweeney in the theatre at the concert with Emma Thompson but I've watched many of the different recorded productions made so even though it's done often I wouldn't be mad if there was a fully staged Sweeney Todd in London soon. |

Love SWEENEY - it’s a masterpiece, but I would have loved another Sondheim if true - PASSION or one of the others I haven’t seen. I saw the Adelphi Version, where I was introduced to the incandescent talent of Imelda Staunton, the ENO version, where I was just in heaven, and the pop-up pie shop version, which I also loved, but having seen the ENO version earlier that same week, was weaker in comparison. No doubt I will a Menier version though.

No doubt I will a Menier version though. Passion, Overtures & Forum are all masterpieces needing a London outing. The first two would work really well in the in the MCF. I would like for someone really imaginative to give an overhaul to Whistle and Frogs - I wish! |

Passion, Pacific Overtures, Forum and Ragtime would all make me very happy (as long as their scores were given the proper treatment and not stripped back and thin, Passion and Ragtime especially).
