Phantom- 9 times. (3 different countries, 4 different theaters)
Other than Phantom (and soon, Rent), I tend to try to see everything that's playing. I may enjoy a show, but I find it gets even better when put in context of everything else playing.
For example, when I lived in London, I'd seen all but 4 productions in the West End. I didn't see those same shows on Broadway when I moved to NJ. (Well, I don't see much these days because I can't afford it, discount tix or not!)

Wicked - 4
I've always wanted to be an usher. How do you get that job? How old do you have to be? Esp. to you TobyRagg, because the Oriental is where I have seen "Wicked" those 4 times. HeH.

Posted: 1/17/06 at 8:06amThe most times I've seen a show, sadly, has been twice. But I'm thinking of seeing Wicked a third time now that Eden is in it (if I can find the time to do it.)
