Broadway Bound
Jan 18, 2020 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM
With Garrett Stack
Since 1960 there have been roughly 5,000 productions mounted on Broadway that include plays, musicals and special events. On this edition of Broadway Bound we look at the musicals that rank in the top tier for longevity on Broadway. We start with the 121st longest running Broadway Production ever, Newsies, and end with the tenth longest running Broadway production ever, Beauty and the Beast. Since we feature musicals in the Top-10 often, we don't include them in our survey. (Phantom of the Opera ranks first and Chicago ranks second.)
