May still be running1 open on the record
| 2026 | Titaníque Opened April 12, 2026 |
These opened in the last three years and carry no closing date. That is the strongest claim the data supports — an unrecorded closing looks exactly like a run still going, and the file was last checked in August 2026. A run that closed last week is still sitting in this list.
By decade37 productions across 10 decades
Counted from the productions we hold, which are Broadway and a partial West End. A quiet decade here can mean a dark theatre and can mean a gap in the record.

What this page does not know
- What played here before Broadway record-keeping starts, and what played here outside it — concerts, benefits, film runs, anything that was not a listed production.
- How long 1 of these run lasted. No performance count on the record.
- When 2 of these runs ended. They carry an opening date and no closing date, and they are old enough that they certainly closed — nobody wrote down the date.
