Yeah. I left off 1963 from the top competitors because only Forum and Oliver have lasted as huge hit shows. Though popular in that time, Little Me and Stop the World were both star vehicles that have not stood the test of time critically or popularly enough to make one look at that year and say "wow, imagine competing against those shows!" I only even listed it in the longer list because Little Me was revived with Martin Short and is being done at Encores this year, and is by Cy Coleman and Neil Simon. I dunno, it's debatable!
