Since Bye Bye Birdie Roundabout have got their act together with musicals, since then Roundabout have brought the critically acclaimed Tony musical Anything Goes back to Broadway and now the critically acclaimed The Mystery of Edwin Drood, which is hot favorite to win a Tony this year.
There are a lot of musicals which aren't viable for a commercial producer to bring to Broadway, this is where Roundabout come in, with their not for profit ethos?
So what would you like to see Roundabout revive next on Broadway?
I would like to see Aspect of Love and Sunday in the Park with George.Roundabout Next Musical?

The Roundabout did Sunday in the Park with George in 2008. I think we can wait a few more years before bringing it back.

I saw Via Galactica. Bring it back only if you can round up the original cast. Oops, sadly many of the leads are no longer with us.

Jason Robert Brown is also trying to get Roundabout to produce Honeymoon in Vegas next season, since Tony Danza dropped out he doesn't think the show is "commercially viable".

If they were to do MERRILY any time soon, would it probably be a transfer of the Menier production?

I guess you missed THE PEOPLE IN THE PICTURE.
THE ROBBER BRIDEGROOM is a great prospect: fun show, tuneful score, several great roles for talented actors (hopefully they would continue their recent practice of casting actual musical theatre actors instead of B-list TV stars).

The Robber Bridegroom was supposed to be at the Laura Pels this season but in September they decided to replace it with Talley's Folly.

ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY will be in Roundabout's 2013-2014 season at Studio 54, I've heard.
As bdn223 said, I've also heard rumblings that they may produce HONEYMOON IN VEGAS in the Sondheim come the fall.

Roundabout doesn't have the best track record with original musicals, so we'll see. Honeymoon should get an out-of-town tryout, for sure.

Between MERRILY, BRIDEGROOM, ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY and their already-announced PHILADELPHIA STORY revival, Roundabout is putting together a promising season (in titles alone... here's hoping they can keep the qualitative momentum going...)

When does the 2013-14 season get announced - we're keen to see ON the 20th Century, especially if Cheno is in it

Ah yes, ON THE TWENTIETH CENTURY. One of a dozen new musicals Chenoweth has said she's doing next season.

Actually, I would LOVE for them to do The Secret Garden. I think it's about time somebody brought that back.

We just had a 2008 revival so I doubt it.

I would love to see a revival of The Secret Garden. However, Roundabout will only make a spectacular musical very mundane.

I have heard from a friend who is a very reliable source that they are putting something back into Studio 54 that they have already done, old chum. It may be a bit too soon, but it's better than sitting alone in your room.

Not at all. In fact, I hear it is all but guaranteed. And my source is very, very reliable. Expect an announcement soon.

Mr Rogers, I'll be more thrilled to see this come to pass than you could possibly imagine. All I'm sayin' is, if this is true, it is a very, very new development.

Cabaret? YES, PLEASE.
Add me to the chorus of people who would like a Secret Garden revival, also add Carousel to that list of musicals that need to be revived.

I'd rather Roundabout not do The Secret Garden. I don't want to hear that score reduced to six musicians.

A new Cabaret revival might be a bit too soon. Along with Dancin, I'd also like a revival of Carousel.

Matt will correct me if I'm wrong... But this won't be a new revival but the return of the Mendes production.
I would love this to come to pass...adore this production!

If/when Robber Bridegroom is announced, please post a link to the info here! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it wasn't cancelled for good (if it was postponed). I've been waiting since 1995 to see a professional production!

I've heard rumors about a Cabaret revival with a female Emcee. Whether there's any truth to it, or if it's being mounted by Roundabout is anybody's guess.

Posted by Matt Rogers 2013-02-26 19:15:19
I personally wish they would do the one that they did at ACT a couple if seasons ago. That had a female MC, and the production was freaking amazing. But no such luck. They are trotting out the Mendes thing again.

If it is Cabaret you will never hear from me again because I will be dead.
Just throwing that out there.
