A wildly successful musical that made its Broadway debut at the Gershwin Theatre on October 30, 2003, and running for over 6,800 performances to date, becoming one of the highest-grossing Broadway productions. Nominated for ten Tony Awards and winning three, including Best Actress in a Musical for Idina Menzel.
