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.

...That was semi-quoted from the text. Hugh Jackman won a Tony Award from Boy From Oz- so on that account it is a success. Success is in the eye of the beholder. On monetary terms breaking even or making a profit on a show, especially on Broadway takes alot of time. If a show captivates audience, has people coming to see the show, wins awards and gets good revues surely that means to some account it's a success. Not to mention a musical that comes from Australia and makes it on to 'mainstream' Broadway. That is successful for an Australian show, no denying. How many Australian Musicals have made it onto Broadway? Now anyway, has anyone found an answer to the longest running question above? ___________________________________________________________ Currently working on: A nice break before jumping into my next project.
