- Beauty and the Beast became the longest running show at both the Palace Theatre and the Lunt-Fontane Theatre (exact split of total performances at each venue is unknown).
- Wicked and The Lion King total number of performances valid as at 2 October 2018.
- Some Broadway theatres on this list originally opened under different names.
Maria Rose played 48 performances at the Longacre. Surely there have been longer runs there.
I believe phantom ran longer at the majestic than South Pacific
