Matt:

Would love to see the new tour of Rent, Spring Awakening, and Mary Poppins.

Bryan Austermann:

Oh my. Let us see.

Obviously Wicked, but even though there are now two touring companies, I know they are all booked up, but maybe season 2010-11??!??

Uh,
SPRING AWAKENING!
Young Frankenstein
In The Heights
Mary Poppins
Xanadu
Les Miz
Movin Out
Lion King
August Osage County
Rent
Gypsy
Curtains
Well that seems to be it for now, but if I come across any more in my mind, trust me, I'll let you know! Hahaha

Adam:

I'd love to see LES MISERABLES, JEKYLL AND HYDE, TARZAN, or BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. I don't think any of these are on tour, but that's my wish!

K. Strauss:

My "Wish List":
Lion King
Wicked
Spamalot
Celtic Woman
Cirque Dreams Jungle Fantasy
Fiddler on the Roof
Hairspray

missy:

Mary Poppins, Dirty Dancing, Fiddler on the Roof, Wicked.

Cindy:

Katalin:

I would love to see:
Secret Garden
Wicked
Scarlet Pimpernell
Jekyll & Hyde
Mary Poppins
Young Frankenstein
Xanadu
Les Miz

terry o'connor:

My wish list:

Rufus Wainwright's Solo Concert

Wicked (again)

Hairspray

Chris Winters:

It would have been helpful if there was a list of shows to choose from, since Bushnell staff must know what shows would be available, rather than everyone listing their dream show that might not even be touring. That being said, I would love to see In the Heights, Xanadu and South Pacific.

Alice Cassotta:

My wishlist:

Camelot, South Pacific, Funny Girl, The King and I, more of Neil Berg's Broadway showtune productions.

Greg Halzack:

I would like to see The Paul Taylor Dance Company. His new pieces are terrific and there are at least three dancers with Connecticut roots. We need more than the Nutcracker to reignite the Dance community in Hartford. go for it Bushnell. You won't regret it.

Greg Halzack:

My comment was for Paul Taylor. I think that you got mixed up.

Would love to see:
Mary Poppins
Movin' Out
Grease
Fiddler
Dirty Dancing
Annie

Judi:

I would like to see Cats, Dirty Dancing, Grease, In the Heights, 42nd Street, Mary Poppins, Rent, South Pacific, Spring Awakening, The Lion King, or Les Miz.

Chris Winters:

Please, everyone, can't we get past the same old shows that have been around and touring forever? We don't need Grease, Annie, or Cats again! This is why theaters have a hard time getting younger people to become subscribers. I hope Bushnell staff have the foresight to realize you need to bring in more contemporary shows if you want to expand your audience base. How about at least a mixture - one or two old chestnuts with some more recent shows?

Ellen:

Les Miz
Lion King
Wicked
Spamalot
Magic Treehouse

Denise McBride:

Would like to see more Jazz artists such as:
Johnathan Butler, Kenny G, Will Downing, Anita Baker, Gerald Albright etc on the venue from time to time.

cheryl :

Would love to bring my grandaughter to see Mary Poppins. Also we would like to see Jekyll & Hyde, Rent, and King and I.

Pat:

I'd love to see Connecticut Ballet again. Romeo and Juliet were wonderful. Les Miz is my favorite as well. Big River is a great musical.

gretchen marino:

Definitely Wicked(yes again!!)
Mama Mia
Rat Pack
Lion King
Hairspray
Les Mis
Movin Out
Spamalot
Cirque do Soliel
Celtic Woman
Rent

Tamalon Rhodd:

I would love to see a rendition of "Cat on a hot tin roof" which was recently on Broadway, staring Terrance Howward and Phylicia Rashad, directed by Debbie Allen. Not sure if you can get the same cast but would love to see this African American version of the classic come to Hartford!

Lucian Dragulski:

Next season I would like to see beverages baned in the theatre. Somehow sitting in a great theatre next to someone in jeans having a glas of wine while listerning to clasical music does not seam right. Next thing will be hot dogs and beer.

Erin Anderson:

My family and I would love MARY POPPINS! It is a beautiful movie that my children and many others would love to see come to life by the Bushnell!

Pamela Bibeau:

Annie
Annie
Mama Mia
Dirty Dancing
Grease
Hairspray
Annie
