When the heck are they going to take "A New Musical" off of the Wicked posters? It's been five frickin' years!

"Spamalot" still goes as a new musical and will end their 4 year run as "a new musical." I HOPE that it will stop by the 10th anniversary, but you never know.

A New Musical means that its original not a revival.
They usually leave it up for their whole run.

Isn't the subtitle for international productions "The Broadway Musical"?

No...it's part of the title. Pure and simple. Not all musicals use it.

For a while it was "in" to add THE MUSICAL. But it will not be removed during the duration no doubt.

They've now removed it in London, now on tickets and leaflets it says "The hit musical" but it stays "new" on the front of the building, and on ticketmaster!

Did Phantom of the Opera ever have a new musical title? If yes, then when did they remove it?

I don't think they did...I just think it was always THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA.

"For a while it was "in" to add THE MUSICAL"

Giving rise to parodies like "The Musical of Musicals: The Musical" (a VERY funny show, BTW.)

Soem whows need to hve "The Musical" but they're few and far between.
