Personally I would love to see Jesus Christ Superstar, RENT, A Chorus Line and Saturday Night Fever.... anyone else??
cat123
I'm with you on Jesus Christ Superstar, always intrigued by that show. RENT, just because it's something I should see, even though I'm not the biggest fan. Anything I've not seen really (that's quite a lot!!) always up for new things.

Pal Joey

Oh and Man in the Iron Mask so I can compare it with Too close to the sun - the theatrical event of the year

The Pirate Queen wasn't that bad, it just wasn't that good.

I'd like to see a well-written show with an original score, based perhaps on a novel or classic play, with great songs, a brilliant cast, and a completely healthy box office. Dream big! biggrin.gif

That's my dream too! laugh.gif Spring Awakening came close, except for the healthy box office part...

Rent - just watched the DVD of Broadway last night. Gutted never saw the original version in London.

The return of Cats, Starlight Express and Miss Saigon to the West End (surely a matter of when they'll happen, rather than if?)

Chess I'd like to see finally staged in a definitive way that pleased everyone.
Same for Martin Guerre (not actor/musician lol).

I would very much like to see Sutton Foster comming over and doing something.

Young Frankenstein
Shrek
Acorn Antiques

'Curtains' is a great shout. I'd also like to see:
Martin Guerre
Next To Normal
City of Angles
The Scarett Pimponel
Tintin
Allegro - not the greatest score by Rodgers & Hammerstein, but better than most other Broadway shows, with a very unusual book, way ahead of its time. The new recording on CD is marvellous.
The Light In The Piazza
Babes In Arms - with a fantastic score, loaded with classic songs by Rodgers & Hart.
New Girl In Town
Silk Stockings
Bounce (or whatever new title it has)
On A Clear Day You Can See Forever

The production at Cardiff a few years ago was one of the best musical productions of anything I've ever seen.

On A Clear Day You Can See Forever

That was always on my list of shows I loved from the score and wanted to see on stage. (I defy anyone to listen to the OBCR and not fall in love with Barbara Harris.) Then I saw it on stage, and realised that it can't survive its book.

I agree, would love to see Saturday Night Fever and Jesus Christ Superstar tour again. Also, would like to see a revival of Billy and Starlight Express back in the west end (as I have only ever seen it on tour).

Guest

I would add the recent production of "Sunday In The Park With George" as I am gutted I missed that one.

Also: Chess, City of Angels, a full staging of Martin Guerre (if only they could dust of the original production!).

Jack the Ripper - the musical


The one that was showcased in April at the New Players? Yes. I went to see Ashleigh rolleyes.gif But really loved the score.

Today I have mostly been listening to Miss Saigon. Revival please.
peachesr
My list is getting smaller as every time I think of one, theres some announcement of it happening lol so Im pleased we're getting The Fantasticks and Into the Woods next year
clair
Didn't see that, there are two versions - the one I love has the songs Saturday Night, Ripper's Gonna Get You and There's a Boat Coming In, absolutely brilliant!
justanotheractor
A FULLY STAGED version of The Woman in White (with a set, I mean), Miss Saigon again please, and how about a brand new production of Chess, with a NEW book, and brand new direction and design etc.

Seconded on all three counts.

Woman in White needs a bit of a rewrite as well as a new set IMO.
The songs are very good but the music for the plot driven sections is pretty dire I think.
RH1234
Agree with Chess and Miss Saigon. But top of the list has to be Dreamgirls!!
robintusin
For me it's John Barrowman in La Cage, Legally Blonde and Sister Act - because they're some of the only West End musicals I've not seen.
Star
Id love to see Legally blonde,Lion king,Priscilla+Wizard of oz(when it starts in the west end).
Mark_E
Would love to see Spelling Bee, New Brain, Bare, William Finn's Elegies, Falsettoland, Toxic Avenger and Altar Boyz done in London. Not in the West End but somewhere like Landor/Union/Menier
