Most of the Rodgers and Hart musicals were from the days when there was really no plot to musicals. Musical numbers were more of specialties than being part of the story. Until "Pal Joey," one of their last, This was pretty much the case, so their musicals don't lend themselves to revivals. "Oklahoma" is considered the started of the modern musical, having songs that move the plot along.
A new musical compiling their sons, like have been done with the Gershwins, would be great. But I really don't see any besides "Pal Joey," "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthir's Court," "Boys from Syracuse" or "On Your Toes" ever seeing a stage again.
