Although, on the ATC boards, they disagree about the "staking" part...lol
I am so "honored" that we were mentioned on their board !!

I for one think that level of devotion and obsession is unhealthy. It's been my experience that usually when someone is so obsessed with something, they are trying to mask other problems in their life, thinking that seeing a show 50 times or whatever will solve their problems; that the second they step into the Helen Hayes their problems leave them at the door.
It's great to support Broadway and live theatre, but you should come first.

:::: Lies down on table :::: LOL
Just remember... its not obsession.... its passion ! :))
We have been to DisneyWorld over 30 times as well- Its just what we enjoy. It has nothing to do with "masking" anything.
I dont know- maybe that is the case with others... but with the people mentioned in this particular article, I think we are all very happy. I know I am. My job affords me the luxury of doing the things that I love, and I have a great wife, and a healthy, happy child.
Sorry to get preachy !!

We all have "problems" in our lives. But to escape them for an hour and half is a bad thing? When I step foot into the theatre my problems are neither resolved nor do they magically disappear.
It's an escape from "reality" (for a short time... or a long time) into a world of your own that's warm and full of happiness. Isn't that the POINT of the arts though? Whether it's a show, a song, a book, a painting... whatever it may be is certainly healthier than being upset or depressed, don't you think?
I do not mask any of my faults or problems.
I support Broadway and I've ALWAYS been first in MY life.
Thank you.

All I was saying was that my interpretation of escaping for an hour and a half to the same place 85 times just looks and sounds like a red flag, that's all. There are people who do the exact same thing, but instead of going to see Xanadu 85 times, they sit in their car outside the house of someone they like and just stare for an hour and half, prolly around 85 times (if you catch my drift).
Of course you CAN see it as many times as you want, and I'm not saying it's always a negative thing, it just again comes across as unhealthy.

"Unhealthy"? - are we hurting anyone, and no one told us??
We enjoy it --simple as that. To each/their own.

Posted: 10/16/07 at 2:14pmSorry, I can't resist responding to Thesbijeans' comment. Considering all the options that people have in their lives to "escape" their "problems" (e.g., drugs, alcohol, crime, etc., etc., etc.), I think "following your star" is positive and healthy. It certainly isn't harming anybody except in those instances where fans impose themselves too much into the lives of their favorites. My experience at the Xanadu stage door is that the Du-Crew and the Xanatics are most repectful of a cast and crew that is devoting their lives to giving their best eight times a week. PS. If you have problems with these groups, take a look at the behavior of opera fans at the stage door of the Metroplitan. You'll see some REAL examples of overbearing fans who are rude, crazy as loons, disrespectful of others (including the performers)and down-and-out vicious and nasty.

Thesbijean- with all due respects...
Seeing Xanadu 85 times and sitting outside in your car for 85 times are totally different things !
Hello ! you got to stare at Cheyenne's or Curtis' asses for 85 times !! totally different

I am really curious as to whether or not the article will affect the attendance figures at all. I have had at least
25 people today tell me they want to see the show now.
Its all good !!
