Well, since you ask the direct question, I can't say my crystal ball is at this point showing great Broadway longevity for On the Town--or, for that matter, Side Show either. On the Town's grosses are okay, for the present, but only that, and it (like everything else, of course) has a long winter to survive--and after that, what? Unless it can somehow establish itself as a tourist destination, I don't see where the audience for a long Broadway run is going to come from. Same with Side Show, only more so--its grosses, for the present, aren't even "okay." Both shows are going to have enormous competition by spring. I believe eight Broadway musicals have been firmly announced to open between January and April, and there may yet be more if theaters become available.
