Hamlet (4024 Lines); Coriolanus (3824 lines); Cymbeline (3753 lines); Richard III (3718); Antony and Cleopatra (3573); Othello (3560); Lear (3499); Troilus and Cressida (3486); Winter's Tale (3362)
If you conflate the two major texts of the play Hamlet that have been passed down to us, you end up with a play longer than any other Shakespeare wrote. If you don't conflate the texts, Richard III is the longest.
The longest running Shakespeare play on Broadway is the 1943 production of Othello starring Paul Robeson which ran for 296 performances.
Hamlet, although that generally uses lines from two of the three source texts. If you looked at the First Quarto version of Hamlet, it would be much shorter.
