Hi Folks I'm trying to find out what the longest running Australian musical is/was. By Australian musical I mean show that originated in Australia, not an import. Think Dusty, the first Boy From Oz, Priscilla, Dirty Dancing etc, not shows like Les Mis or Phantom. All feedback will be appreciated! Cheers.

Not the answer you want

Lets throw a cat among the pigeons. This is not what you're looking for but. Chu Chin Chow written by Australian director actor and writer Oscar Asche Ran for 5 years in London 1916 - 1920 nad spent over 4 years on the road in Australia at about the same time. I am sure I remember reading that the Musical of "The Sentimental Bloke" had a very long run in the 1950's (measured in years) in Sydney but I have been unable to locate a raferemce to that quickly. Is that all there is? Well if that's all there is my friend, then let's keep dancing. www.tonymoore.id.au
