1. I'm not sure but some very popular ones which I could pretty much say would be somewhere in the top ten are: Wicked The Phantom of the Opera The Lion King Chicago Rent
2. Guys and Dolls Hello Dolly Mary Poppins Les Miserables Seven Brides for Seven Brothers The Sound of Music Gigi Rags My Fair Lady Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat
3. Well, in terms of the longest running broadway shows, they are.... 1. The Phantom of the Opera 2. Cats 3. Les Miserables 4. A Chorus Line 5. Oh! Calcutta 6. Beauty and the Beast 7. Rent 8. Chicago 9. Miss Saigon 10. The Lion King To that list, I would say honorable mentions which might not have had the longest runs are Grease, Cabaret, The Sound of Music, and Hairspray. I mean...the list goes on and on. One could argue this question forever.
4. Not in any order: Phantom of the Opera Les Miserables The Lion King RENT Bye Bye Birdie Hair Sound of Music Gyspy West Side Story Guys and Dolls
5. These are the longest running musicals of all time, combining runs on broadway and west end 1. Les Misérables 2. The Phantom of the Opera 3. Cats 4. Blood Brothers 5. Starlight Express .

7. It depends on what you mean by "most popular." There's: highest grossing, largest capacity, longest running, and so on. You can probably find all or most of this information at the Internet Broadway Database: www.ibdb.com - it's a really great resource.
