Okay, I just went back through my theater journals and have discovered that I have double dipped (seen 2 different shows or more) in every theater EXCEPT:
the Imperial (only saw LES MIS there, although MANY times), the New Amsterdam (only THE LION KING, once, unless I can count the Easter Bonnets I saw there), the Shubert (only CHICAGO, although an OBSCENE amount of times), the Nederlander (RENT, twice), the Majestic (only PHANTOM, several times), and the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre I've NEVER been in because it was reopened after I moved out of the city and there hasn't been anything playing there of interest (to me, of course) my few times I've been back to the city since. If only I'd planned my NYC trip for this year a couple of weeks later I would've checked this one off my list with MASTER CLASS!!!

How many of you walk into a theatre remembering previous shows there? Every time I go into teh Booth I remember my first visit there to see the original production of SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE.
Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com

I don't think I've seen anything in theatres that are no longer Broadway houses, but I'm not completely sure. This list goes back to my first visit in 1988 to see Les Miserables at the Broadway Theatre.
