Okay, so I’m going to probably have some unpopular opinions here. ROCK OF AGES - After 6 years on Broadway, it went off Broadway for a few more. It’s also easily accessible for regional productions. RENT - Like Les Mis and Phantom, it hasn’t really the public consciousness long enough for it to be missed. After it’s run, it went off Broadway for over a year and had multiple tours and a live TV production since. NEWSIES - Maybe in like 10-20 years, but there’s a filmed version and many regional productions.

It was sadly unappreciated its first time on Broadway, and is being revived in the West End in the upcoming season. It’s a brilliant show that unfortunately came out during a stacked season that didn’t give it a chance to be discovered.

Seussical is definitely one I’d love to see come back considering over the passage of time its reputation has improved from the negative one it received when it first opened on Broadway 23 years ago thanks to being one of those musicals high schools and community theaters perform the most and even gaining a following and fanbase. Another show I heard is getting revival this year is The Wiz which is about time considering the last revival nearly 40 years ago and I think in the age of racial discrimination against African Americans, we definitely need the musical the most. Plus, The Wiz Live! proved the musical can be updated to modern music and be performed by modern African American singers while staying true to the original lyrics and score and that it’s not a product of the 70s or has to be.
