Disney's BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, which is now in its 11th year, recently passed the run of Miss Saigon to become the sixth longest running show in Broadway history. The musical also holds the record as the longest running tenant at both the Palace Theatre, where it originally opened, and the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, where it currently plays.
