鈥淪he Loves Me,鈥� which is set to open this March, is set in the 1930s and is a classic musical. It has company in such current Broadway shows as 鈥淎n American in Paris,鈥� which is an original show, not a revival, but is based on a 1951 film; 鈥淥n the Town,鈥� which is based on a 1940s show; and 鈥淭he King and I,鈥� which is a revival of a 1950s musical.

However, the hip-hop musical based on the first treasury secretary, 鈥淗amilton,鈥� which just recently opened to rave reviews, is at third, showing an appetite for a slightly different product besides the Disney productions and old stalwarts like "Wicked" that usually top the theater box office.
