Question: What is the highest-grossing Broadway musical of all time?
Phantom of the Opera
The Lion King
Wicked
Hamilton
The answer is: The Lion King
Never mind being kings of the jungle — based on the box office take of Disney’s “The Lion King,” lions are kings of the Great White Way too. The wild-at-heart musical is also the third-longest running show on Broadway, with more than 9,000 performances to date. It’s raked in a whopping $1.6 billion since it opened in 1997.
