Ok, Maybe this has already been a post but I am curious...
I saw Sweeney Todd on Saturday for the third time, which I think is pretty good considering I don't live anywhere near the city. Standing out by the stage door I struck up a conversation with a woman who has seen Sweeney 13 times since it opened...It's only been opened for 11 weeks. I mean I understand if its been running a long time, and I am must admit I am a tad jealous. But how many times have you seen a show?

Posted: 1/16/06 at 10:07pmTwice and that was because my sister and her kids wanted to see the show and I could get discount tickets. Too many things to see. Being older, I've seen different productions of some shows.

This subject has been posted numerous times.
The most times I've seen a show is 6. However, I live in Florida (college)
People have seen shows like 50+ times; especially some RENTHEADS.

Posted: 1/16/06 at 10:11pm9 times DRS over six months. Not too hard or financially draining if you do lottos, plan ahead with discounts, etc. I think Therese2 and WRQ top me though hahaha Sometimes a show just grabs you and doesn't let me go. I would have seen L5Y off Broadway every week if I was into theater as much back then.

Posted: 1/16/06 at 10:15pmI read something in a playbill article about people who have seen shows INSANE amounts of times...like on guy who saw Rent over 1,000 times....I dunno HOW you can afford that!
#7re: The most times you've seen a show
Posted: 1/16/06 at 10:15pmi've seen DRS 4 times, and planning a fifth very soon...and it's true...the lottery and discount tickets are a blessing!

"maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course, we wouldn't fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away" -sex and the city

Phantom of the Opera- 12
All Shook Up- 6
RENT- 4
Ironically, RENT is my favorite of the three. I blame Matt Caplin for this.
