The longest running Broadway show in the U.S. is The Phantom of the Opera (which is still playing on Broadway today!)The 2nd longest show is Cats (Which left the Broadway stage on Sept 10, 2000 I believeI think that The Fantasticks is the longest running show in American history. It closed in 2002 after a 42-year run (more than twice as long as Cats).
