Until just a few years ago, the longest running musical on Broadway was Cats and it opened in 1981. Also Barnum, Nine, Woman of the year, My One and Only, Little Shop of Horrors (technically off-Broadway), La Cage aux Folles, and Sunday in the Park With George, Baby, and many revivals from earlier decades like Mame. There are easy sources to consult on-line and in the library

tjw, West Side Story (1957) is not from the 80s. Neither is A Chorus Line (1975) and Tommy and Once on This Island are from the 1990s
