| Tourism, spectacle and not having a language barrier - I think are 3 ingredients. I do not think Dear Evan Hanson will be a long running mega hit. |

| I agree in some cases. But what about A Chorus Line? No spectacle and there is a language barrier. I think it's in the category of Mormon and Hamilton, shows that got such high praise, that is simply takes a long time for everyone who wants to see it to see it. | |

| I should have added - a focus on dance/big dance numbers - I can imagine that all the dancing in A Chorus Line would still be a big draw for tourists where English is not their first language. |

| If there is enough singing and/or dancing in a show (and it's good) it is basically like going to the opera or ballet. And some of those listed shows even provide simultaneous translation. | |

| They provide translation into all languages known to the human ear simultaneously, through the same earpiece, because Phantom is universal. (I didn't think I'd have to explain that to you.) | |
