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.
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".

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).
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...)
