Walt Disney's Broadway production of The Lion King will celebrate another milestone when it plays its 5,462nd performance on Sun 2 Jan 2011 to become the seventh longest-running show in Broadway history.
The Lion King moves up the top ten list of long runs, passing Disney’s inaugural musical 'Beauty and the Beast.'
But the one thing I didn't understand with this news article is this part at the end:
The Lion King won six Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and is the 9th longest-running musical on Broadway, surpassing the record previously held by 'Miss Saigon.'
Eh? How could it become the NINTH longest-running MUSICAL when it is already the SEVENTH longer running BROADWAY SHOW? A Broadway musical is a subset of Broadway shows. {scratching head}
Zz.
