I made this point a while ago on another related thread and I'll just mention it here, as another explanation for why some people see a show tens and hundreds of times.
It's more than just loving the show. And it has nothing to do with missing the opportunity to see other shows.
It's a community of friends which forms and becomes an important part of life for the group. I went through it with the Rocky Horror Picture Show. It's a little like the way we all have something in common by posting here, and although we've never met-when we do finally meet in person it's almost like we already know each other, and we feel comfortable in hugging and kissing actual strangers. It's having love for the show in common which starts the friendships and it grows to the scale of hanging out with people who share an important thing. With Rocky Horror, it was a little more than that. That particular film focused on the acceptance of people who are a little different and don't fit into the mainstream of society. I guess other people could have considered us "freaks". It's a great feeling to find a whole community of likeminded souls to hang out with.
If people have a problem with that, then I repeat, it's their problem only.

Posted: 4/5/06 at 3:43pmHeather is AMAZING. No idea where any of you get your 'crazy stalker' stories from about her..but I've 'talked' to her a few times and she is so kind, so devoted to the relationships with actors she has. I can think of two specific examples where I could truly see how dedicated she was to them, and how much they loved her support in return - I'm not going to say what, for a breach of privacy, but I love Heather..don't bad mouth her.
And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps...
What did she realize, Kitten?
That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs.
What's wrong with that?
Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had...
Where?
On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.

I have several friends who are actor/singers on and off-Broadway and have heard a lot of stories about what they've had to go through with overly enthusiastic, over-insistent, constantly-present "fans" over the years.
They probably remember what happened to that other Margo Channing.

I totally agree with you Jane2. that's exactly what I wanted to say. I've never asked e-mail and never tried to making a relationship. I saw RENT 60 times whatever lol
