Which classic musical should be made (or remade) into a movie?

by Nathaniel R

With the news that a recent stripped down experimental version of Rodgers & Hammerstein's Oklahoma! was coming to Broadway in April 2019, we thought it might be interesting to look at the "Most Often Revived Musicals on Broadway". The list is as follows: 

1. Porgy & Bess (8 times)
2. Threepenny Opera (7 times)
3. Showboat (7 times)
4. Peter Pan (6 times)
5. Pal Joey (6 times)
6. Guys & Dolls (6 times)
7. Fiddler on the Roof (6 times)
8. Carousel (6 times)
9. ... and Oklahoma! will be joining this list in a handful of months.
10. It can't really be a top ten since a plethora of shows have been on Broadway 5 times.

More on that list and movie versions after the jump...

I can't think of an actress on TV that I'd like to see two of more right now, can you?
