Some of the Herman shows are star vehicles and as such, depend upon a star interested in reviving them. For example, "Mame" needs a comic/singer of a certain age and the show will work when there is someone (I can't think of anyone today. But Sutton Foster will age, so maybe?) who can invest the _part_ with interest. Even if the plot has little.

Actually, it's interesting mentioning Sutton Foster. "Anything Goes" is not a great musical although it has some great songs. SF revived it rather well. "Annie Get Your Gun," which didn't work well for Bernadette Peters but turned out to be a great success for the totally unknown on Broadway Reba McIntyre. I mean, these star vehicles can come back...with a star!

Star vehicles: almost anything that originally starred Ethel Merman, Carol Channing, and maybe Mary Martin, plus others.

Sutton Foster would be good in HERE'S LOVE. Good career move for her

NO ONE would be good in "Here's Love." Been there; done that.
