I really was startled to read the runs of "Zoot Suit" and "Wings." And even surprised the "Crucifer" didn't make it til Tony time (in my mind, it ran a year and a half, with major cast replacements; theatrical memory isn't to be trusted, ever.)
I agree with you that B'way took risks. Again, reading that "Zoot Suit" went into the Winter Garden was a jolt.
