This was a joke...right? RIGHT?"

No, the song royalties prohibited recoupment.

Correct but "did not run anywhere near long enough to qualify."

So why are you only pointing out Spider-Man as being wrong and not those who said Mille. And Spider-Man is still pretty close to the 42nd street revival, which seems to be the longest run said in this thread. To say it’s not anywhere close to qualify is just nit picky.

The LA Times reported that Rock of Ages recouped in 2012.

^exactly, some of y'all are fake newsers :)

"In 2012, Rock of Ages recouped its capitalization of $7.25 million, in addition to all costs incurred during the show’s move from the Brooks Atkinson to the Helen Hayes."

I was reacting to the multiple later posts about S-M, but I don't think it is nit-picky to differentiate the 2 shows with over 300 more performances from Spidey. (J&H is actually slightly more than 42nd St. but to me the correct answer to the posed query is those 2 (1588 and 1555)) If there is some reason you want to hold on to S-M, be my guest.

There is no central place to get recoupment info. Some shows announce it, some don't, and some that do not recoup we learn informally as to the extent of the loss."

It ran over a thousand performances, which wasmore than millie at least."

It lost enough money to put on three productions of Millie, so no.
