With the ever-changing nature of Broadway, the memory of seeing a show can become a collector’s item in its own right, just as much as a cherished Playbill.
Inspired by Playbill’s recent Instagram poll, we’ve created a checklist of the 10 most recent productions to play over 100 performances in each Broadway house (because of the number of limited runs that play the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre, we've included all shows regardless of number of performances). How many of these shows have you seen?
