Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre

May still be running1 with no closing date

2025	Buena Vista Social Club Opened March 19, 2025

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.

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 4 of these runs lasted. We don't have a performance count.
• When 26 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.
