We’re welcoming in a new month and new year on this week’s Dress Circle (1/5 7:00 p.m.) with songs from a specific group of shows that opened in January: the seventeen shows that had the longest runs although we’ll still be covering some 69 years of Broadway history. Beginning with the longest running January show, “Phantom of the Opera” which has run over 13,518 performances, we’ll be including shows such as “Hello, Dolly!”, “Beautiful: The Carole King Musical,” “The Wiz,” “Fosse,” “Shenandoah,” “Ragtime,” “Olvier!”, “The Little Mermaid,” and end with 1945’s “Up in Central Park.”
The combined performance run of our seventeen shows is 30,468!
