Garrick Theatre

May still be running1 with no closing date

2023	Bonnie and Clyde Opened March 4, 2023

These opened in the last three years and carry no closing date. That is the strongest claim the data supports: a closing we don't know about 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.

• Though originally scheduled for only two performances at the Garrick Theatre (then on 35th Street east of Broadway), the revue caught on and had a successful commercial run.

• Could the Swiss do better? Oh! My Papa! (Garrick Theatre, 17 July 1957; 45) was successful at the Bristol Old Vic, but London resisted it, despite its sterling cast, colourful circus settings and routines.

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 19 of these runs lasted. We don't have a performance count.
• When 107 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.
