too long.

12 weeks

It's been run there several times.

They usually cancel it after the shock of culture kills them.

a while

as far as i know its still running but its been running in the US since 1982

I forget exactly how long but I was just reading a book yesterday in the library and as of march 1999 it was still running and was the number one longest run musical on Broadway. I don't know if that helps at all. I wish i could remember the years exactly.
