"The Producers" is too funny to let leave anytime soon. And Maybe "Throughly Modern Millie" will be around for a long time too.

Oh, I thought the question was about NEW musicals. Yes, of course Mamma Mia and Lion King will be around for long. But I think they have already proved their staying power, they are out there for quite some time ! I don't know about The Producers after Lane & Broderick's departure though ! The show was already struggling before them from what I remember !

Wicked
The Lion King
Mamma Mia
Beauty and the Beast
Chicago
Phantom and Rent will hang in there for a a couple more years, I think
Hairspray and the Producers will be around for a while too
42nd Street and Millie maybe

I haven't seen it, though want to, but is Avenue Q really going to be around in two or three years time? Really going to be around?
