Can you do this, Santa? It's all I want this year and I won't even ask for anything next year if I can have this or for my Birthday.

Thank you and I love you,
J.C.

That would be incredible but they did a 10-year in '97 so I doubt they'd do another one...

I just don't understand why not. It would be an instant sell out, and it's not like the cast is in high demand...

Love the show, but couldn't bear seeing it now that dear Tom Aldredge is gone.

In a perfect world, Stephen Sondheim would play the part of The Narrator.

The narrator is killed, not the mysterious man.

I would totally go see this. I love my VHS tape of the original. Yes, I said VHS. I also got the OBCR at the flea market too.

I still don't understand what his death has to do with anything here.

I'm hyperventilating a bit after Jordan suggested Sondheim as the Narrator. I would do whatever I had to do to see this. *dies*

Good idea, J.C. Anyone know what Kay McClelland is up to these days? (She was one of the evil stepsisters.)

As big a Sondheim fan as I and most of the posters here are, the last thing I'd want to see is ol' Stephen being murdered onstage in his own show.

But on reflection, I'd agree with Jordan-- there's something delicious about the ITW cast that's been run ragged all night finally taking revenge on their creator. A twist of which Pirandello would be proud.

I would DEFINITELY go to see this since I was on tour and missed the first round.

Two words; Kim Crosby. Nuff said.

Ummm...the narrator's death isn't gruesome or anything. It's funny. The fact that they'd break the fourth wall to throw the guy telling the story to the giant is hilarious, and with it not only being the narrator, but the creator of the show, it would be hysterical. Plus, as stated, there's still the Mysterious Man. I'd love to hear Sondheim sing "No More" with Chip Zien. Talk about a musical nerdgasm! Not only that, but it would make the show an even bigger draw and worth watching, IMO.

And can you imagine the applause after Bernadette's "some of us don't like the way you've been telling it...."

One of my favorite shows ever.

To see Sondheim himself as the Narrator/Mysterious Man at an anniversary celebration would be... just... wow.

Bernie, Joanna and Chip together again. Another amazing thought.

Can Peters still sing the Witch? I've read so many complaints about what she does with Sally. I'm not a musician, but I think the Witch's vocal part sounds more difficult.

Alright... original cast (or as much as can be mustered)... Sondheim as narrator/mysterious man... any requests for the material? One wolf or two in "Hello, Little Girl"? Full version of "Our Little World" or abbreviated? Original or revised ending of "On the Steps..."? Alternate "Last Midnight" or no?

Kay McClelland seems to have returned to her home town of Atlanta and semi-retired. Her last NYC credit was standing by for Donna Murphy (and later Faith Prince) in the KING AND I revival around 1997.
