The Broadway show Mamma Mia! is about to hit another milestone, as its June 27 performance will take it past Tobacco Road into 15th place on the list of all-time longest-running shows on Broadway.
The show will celebrate by offering discounted tickets and contests. And looking at the list, in the space of another year (assuming it continues) Mamma Mia will move up to 11th place. But it'll take a few more years to crack the top 10.
The most amazing number, of course, belongs to Phantom of the Opera, which is number one and still going strong.
Here are the numbers from May (the shows with a (*) next to it are still running):
1. The Phantom of the Opera 8859 (*)
2. Cats 7485
3. Les Misérables 6680
4. A Chorus Line 6137
5. Oh! Calcutta! (Revival) 5959
6. Beauty and the Beast 5461
7. Chicago (Revival) 5176 (*)
8. Rent 5124
9. The Lion King 4808 (*)
10. Miss Saigon 4097
11. 42nd Street 3486
12. Grease 3388
