It's so amusing to me how people go back and forth between wanting revivals, then getting upset when revivals are announced (see: Music Man for example), demand original work instead, then don't give that original work a chance (only relying on reviews and not deciding for themselves. I'm not invalidating reviews. Just saying if a show interests you, go see it!!).
Do any of you stop to think about how you treat others? I have no problem blocking people :) Move along if you think you're better than anyone else, because I certainly do not think that about myself.

Sounds good in concept, but I suspect Alex would have an issue with being able to get through the show 6-8x a week without calling out a lot."
I'd be here for this, tho with your caveat.
Does Sonia Friedman still hold the rights, and is Casey Nicholaw attached, or has that changed? Considering how the world has changed since that London run, it would probably benefit from a Black woman directing.

I would love to see Tommy Tune's staging of Dreamgirls as he lost the TONY to Bennett for choreography for Nine. Tune hasn't done anything in years!

Camille Brown would be my vote. Or perhaps Lileana Blain-Cruz paired with a really good choreographer who knows musical theatre.
