Ok! For a research paper in school, my teacher said we could pick any topic. All I need is an article talking about Broadways longest running shows and I need it by tomorrow! If anyone can help me like soon, that would be great!!!

a great resource.
Bulldog.
You must be a schoolteacher, BB.
I must say, I can't remember the last time I was actually in a library, but I can tell you that I'm on the interent doing research for my work every single day. The world's changed and the information he/she can get at a library can just as easily be found online.
I would try google. It's kinda like microfiche!
I know the library would help but I've seen articles on what I'm talking about and I just can't think of where I found them!
We just started it today. It's not due till like November.
A good friend of mine is a teacher, and he has acess to a dandy little internet filter (don't recall exactly the name of it) that can tell if any of his students papers has been lifted verbatim from internet texts.
huh? Thanks for letting me know...

You might want to search the internet for "Cats" "Les Miserables" "Phantom of the Opera" "A Chorus Line". That should lead you to information. You might want to try www.playbill.com

This isn't an article, but it is a list of the longest runners.

Here's a list of them from Playbill. Should be quite up to date.
Longest Running Shows
"Dreams, I've lived within my dreams now it seems I've awakened and they're real, pinch and feel. If one day I walk upon this stage from these wings and play underneath this dome, and if I sing with all my heart, I'll be home"
Thanks everyone! I appreciate it!!

I dunno if this helps you at all, but Chicago is currently the longest running revival on Broadway.
If in Heaven you don't excel, you can always party down in hell...
hmmm Thanks. I didn't know that. =-)
Did you try Google?
It's useful and free.
