What Keeps a Broadway Play Running—and What Makes It Fade
Jordan Schildcrout examines 15 Broadway plays that each surpassed 1,000 performances, using their long runs as a lens on popular taste and theatrical history. The book pairs close consideration of individual hits with the cultural circumstances that helped sustain their success. It also follows the uneven afterlives of these productions, noting how many once-dominant plays later receded from view. Framed around longevity rather than a single era or genre, this is a study of Broadway success as a changing cultural measure.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Theater students and scholars interested in Broadway history
- Fans of long-running Broadway plays and their historical contexts
- Readers exploring popular culture through performance history
