Posted: 7/8/05 at 8:01pmi've seen Blood Brothers 5 times and been stalked by Linda Nolan for it lol. I saw it twice in 2001 and she played Mrs J... saw it in west end two years later and she was Mrs J, saw it 2004 and guess what she was Mrs J... saw new UK Tour and i was really happy a different woman was playing Mrs J but a last minute cast change meant... yup, you got it Linda Nolan was there again!

Posted: 7/8/05 at 8:01pmI think I saw Ragtime about 6 or 7 but that was only because my best friend was in the tour and I went to go visit her in some of the cities. I've seen RENT too many times to mention but that was because I ushered it, and if my lucky lotto streak continues Wicked may be coming up from behind on Ragtime soon.

Posted: 7/8/05 at 8:03pmI've seen Avenue Q and Rent 2xs. I'm still 15, so it basically comes down to whether or not my parents feel like paying for me to see it again. I only paid for going to Rent one time though cause before it was for a Sweet 16.
And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps...
What did she realize, Kitten?
That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs.
What's wrong with that?
Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had...
Where?
On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.

HELLO, DOLLY! 74 times. That includes the original Broadway production, touring companies and revivals.
Which makes me think. Aren't we ready for another revival of The World's Happiest Musical?

I've seen a lot of shows, but don't have the luxury of living in New York for repeat performances of a favorite show over a couple of years or so. Most of my experiences were with Broadway touring casts in SF:
Irving Berlin's White Christmas - 5 times
Will Rogers Follies - 3 times
Scarlet Pimpernel -2 or 3 times

Posted: 7/8/05 at 9:42pmI've seen Chicago on Broadway 3x. That is my most, not that much. I could easily see it a dozen times.

#24re: How many times have you seen a certain show?
Posted: 7/8/05 at 9:51pmmy most = Phantom twice. I'd rather see different shows than see the same show 50 billion times
You aren't feeling overwhelmed are you?
