I'm listening to AccuBroadway, and saw the listing for the revivals channel.
"Shows so excellent they got a second (or even third) life!"
Other than Fiddler, which shows have been revived more than once? Maybe I'm having a brain cramp, because I cant think of any right now lol

Show Boat was revived four different times. It first played in 1929.
It was revived in:
1932
1947
1983
1994
Oklahoma. And if Encores counts than HAIR. it had a revival not long after it closed that closed like after a month or something. than was done at encores.

my great auntie saw west side story way back in the 50's! we were at a high school production, and she says " i havenn't seen this since it was on broadway in the 50's!" yay!
Also by the end of the Broadway season SWEET CHARITY will be living it's third life on Broadway.
damn double post
I think we have a couple of the dates for SHOW BOAT productions a little off.
The first production was in 1927.
The 1940s revival was in 1946.
But, good detective work in tracking down ALL four major revivals! :)
For anyone interested in learning more about SHOW BOAT, I heavily endorse the Book SHOW BOAT: THE STORY OF A CLASSIC AMERICAN MUSICAL, by theater historian Miles Krueger.
I was looking at the closing dates. Show Boat did run in those years. The last revival opened in 1994.

I think Hair counts cause it was revived 2 years after its inital run, then there was the benefit concert a little more than a month ago, so if you counted encores, that would be 4!
