I AM however going to NYC in Febuary for my first time ever and am going to see anything and everything that even looks slightly appealing...
Here in this cold white room tied up to these machines, it's hard to imagine life as it used to be. Laughing, screaming, tumbling queen... Like the most amazing light show you've ever seen. Whirling, swirling, never blue... How could you go and die? What a selfish thing to do...
RIP Jason

I dont think we have the bandwidth for some of us to accurately answer this question.... and I know I dont have the time to sit here and go back over all the shows I've seen in the past 18 years.
Let's just say, a LOT. lol

Try 30+ years ..... I saw my first Broadway show when I was 4 in 197- ......

Yeah we definitely do NOT have the bandwidth to list that. Mine would take up a few megabytes. For some a better question might be what major shows haven't you seen haha.
It has been a long time since my first show. Yes, quite a looonnngg time. Oh boy, showing my age again. I have to stop doing that. (Goes back to the teenage years when the world was a piece of cake and I was eating it. Suddenly snaps back to reality. Ouch my freakin back!)
Cabaret Hairspray Wicked Rent Aida Phantom Dracula Brooklyn - oy 42nd Street Ave Q (well I have tickets for it) The Lion King
I am missing some, I just know it :)
I want to write music. I want to sit down right now at my piano and write a song that people will listen to and remember and do the same thing every morning...for the rest of my life. - Jonathan Larson. Tick, Tick...BOOM!
I've yet to go to New York. If we talk about North American tours though I've seen
Phantom Cats Joseph (with Donny Osmond ) Miserables Grease Rent Kiss of the Spider Woman (with Chita when I was 13!) Ragtime Show Boat South Pacific Chorus Line (early 90s tour) Chicago Fosse Cabaret Lion King (in Toronto)
I also saw the Robin Philips premiere of the revised aspects of Love when it opened in Edmonton Alberta (where I was born)--it eventually toured N America with Sarah Brightman but she wasn't in it when I saw it in Edmonton
And that's it
I lived a year in Dublin and in London saw Whistle Down the Wind Miss Saigon BatB rent Candide (RNT production) Weir Closer West Side Story Chicago Oklahoma
and the tour of the revival of Jesus Christ Superstar (which I enjoyed tho' everyone seems to hate it) in Dublin
(that was a 6 day trip so I think I did remarkably well)
That's not including Shaw and Stratford Festival things or local pro or semi pro productions.
It's upsetting that I've missed so many shows and have yet to see a major live production of a Sondheim show (my fave) but now that I'm finishing school hopefully that will change.
The shows that made the biggest impression on me were prob Kiss, Ragtime, Chicago, Closer and for the dancing Fosse.
I will not even try to list all of the shows going back to the 70s up until October of this year.

Alright, here goes: hopefully my 18 years doesn't take up TOO much bandwidth...
