Why are they all from 1997-1998 onward? Surely there were earlier shows that deserved a longer run, like The Golden Apple or Merrily We Roll Along.

I think it’s clearly a case of recency bias.

That as well as trying to appeal to a primarily millennial/Generation Z demographic.

Indeed MsMojo has often leaned toward recent years. For earlier musicals I would list:

Drat, the Cat!
Mack & Mabel
Pacific Overtures
Baby
Ballroom
Seesaw
The Happy Time
Once Upon a Mattress

For more recent shows:

The Prom
The Lightning Thief
Disaster!
A Class Act
Amour
Caroline, or Change
Head Over Heels
