The only show I've seen more than once is Anything Goes, and that was with two different high school casts. Updated On: 1/11/05 at 10:31 PM

AIDA - five times.... every time had at least some change in the cast.
That's the most I've ever seen one show...
RENT - three times, some the same, some different.
CABARET - three times, second and third was the same cast, save for the Emcee.
WICKED - twice, different Fiyero and Glinda.

LOL. LAactress better answer this one...

The most times I've seen a show was Rent which was 13 times. It was the traveling cast so there were changes along the way.

my friend has seen rent 25 times, i believe that is the correct count, she rushes often.

i've never seen a tour... i live 30 minutes from the city, and no tours come even remotely close to me.

Keep in mind that I live far, far away from NYC, so my multiple viewings are rather limited. (And these only include "in person" viewings, right? )

Phantom x3
Rent x3
Wicked x2
Aida x2

That seems kind of meagre, doesn't it?

Hedwig:2x
Phantom:3
Lion King:2

(funny thing is I had no intention of seeing Lion King or Phantom more than once. Hedwig I could have gone to several more times and it still wouldn't be enough.)

ckeaton, bashing me is really productive. It's just going to get the thread locked, like it did yesterday.
