Posted: 1/14/09 at 3:49pmMy friend at work just told me that she saw "Man of La Mancha" 26 times in 2 months. She would have seen it 27 times, but got stuck at work one night. What do you think the record would be? Of course this doesn't include people who work at the theater etc....

Wicked Chicago. . three times in a week. . I had a lot of friends in from out-of-town. A lot of lucky-lottery friends.

There was one week I saw all 8 performances of Chicago.
Im not proud.
Granted, two of my very good friends were playing opposite each other for one week only but still... even *I* know that's excessive.

Hmmm... I'm not that big a revisiter of shows, but I did just see Hamlet three times between 17th December and 8th January. That's probably my personal best. I'd've totally seen it more had it not closed. ;_;

Rent, 3 times in 3 days
I don't understand how those people could see Rent every single night just so they could "hang out" with the cast afterwards at the stagedoor. I've seen the show dozens of times, but that frequency is mind-numbing.

Spring Awakening holds most times PERIOD for me. 14 times (15th this Sunday) in two years.
August: Osage County 7 times in two months is most times in a short period.

Same, and agreed. And, really, Rent (if you actually like it, of course) lends itself to that sort of thing more than most shows. And still it's numbing.

I guess 11 times in 3 months wasn't that obsessive after all.
Thanks.
