I was curious to know what the longest running time of a broadway show ever. Not the time it has been on broadway but rather the duration of the show itself.
For musicals I did a quick google search and discovered that both Les Mis and Miss Saigon were 2 hrs and 50 mins with an intermission.
For plays Wolf Hall came to mind and each part was 2 hrs and 45 mins (i dont know whether or not that includes an intermission)
I was wondering if anyon

As much as I love the music of Smash I agree with this. Bringing Bombshell to Broadway wouldnt be terrible with an amazing book writer and songs that could be tied to the story of Bombshell and not to the story of Smash which is what I heard is the problem with almost every song except Second Hand Baby Grand.

I personally love shows that take place in a definitive place in history, normally when it is central to the plot (Les Mis/Cabaret) and sometimes when it is not (I would say Spring Awakening)
Most of my favorite musicals take place in the past in certain moments of history:
Les mis, miss saigon, ragtime, etc.
I was wondering what other points in history you'd like to see recreated or set around in a musical.

What do you guys think of Quasimodo actually being the love child of Frollo and a Gypsy, which is the source of Frollo's hate for the Gypsies as he feels Quasi's mother tempted him, and stole his innocence, which resulted in him killing her accidentally in a rage as a punishment for his feelings, but agrees to take in Quasi as an attempt to redeem himself but he is still ashamed of him, and Frollo's hate of Esmeralda is derived from the fact that he is attracted to
