That is what NBC is doing next year! Or at least they bought the rights to it as well shortly after Peter Pan.

No. Grease is next
I love you, Kristen Stewart. :) You are so beautiful and talented. I would love to perform with you.
Carousel
The Wiz (Audra McDonald has to be in there somewhere. I adore that woman. Oooh! Glenda the good witch! )
State Fair
Annie
Flower Drum Song
Grand Hotel (lesser-known but incredible, outstanding music.)
And yes Sweeney Todd would be remarkable if they didn't screw it up!

You know they just did a new concert production of Sweeney Todd on PBS. I am not sure if it was aired live but it is still available on PBS.com to view. Plus there are two other productions filmed one other concert with George Hearn and Patti LuPone and then the original touring production with George Hearn and Angela Lansbury.
I think it would be nice to see live productions for TV for West Side Story and Annie. I have seen Annie on tour before when I was very young. We are getting Grease from Fox and Music Man from NBC at least!

Fiddler on the Roof
Camelot
My Fair lady
Amahl & The Night Visitors-This will take You back. First broadcast in 1951, last seen in 1978. A musical composed by the legendary Giancarlo Menotti. It was the first production that carried The Hallmark Hall of Fame banner long before it later made Made-For TV Movies.

Anything but a contemporary musical. We don't need any high school musicals on TV as family viewing tradition. That would be like taking Santa's workshop and putting it in Walmart. There's nothing toasty and cozy about our contemporary musicals.
If NBC sees fit to continue this wonderful new tradition of live musical productions every year, I want them to just stick with the classics – or at least classically styled musicals (such as MRS. SANTA CLAUS by Jerry Herman). I would like to see them redo MY FAIR LADY, for example.
ALICE IN WONDERLAND would also be a great one to do again – in the tradition of the 1985 two-part made-for-TV movie, with Carol Channing.
BABES IN TOYLAND and WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY also come to mind, as potential greats for this new NBC tradition.
Please excuse typos/funny wording; I use speech-recognition that doesn't always recognize!
They's have to do either a film or television musical classic.
Personally, I'd love to see Fiddler On The Roof done. The songs/music in that one slays me every single time.
