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.

Do they provide an English translation for Phantom?

(Sorry...kidding...but had to go there...) ;-)

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.)
