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.

Noted above - The Boy From

Noted above - The Boy From Oz: Box office hit at home, on Broadway and then back home again. The people who did the publicity for TBFO deserve some sort of award. Everyone now seems to believe it was a hit on Broadway. It wasn't. It's own producers have publicly announced that it barely covered it's costs.
