#1How Many Of The 40 Broadway Theaters Have You Been To?
Posted: 5/20/13 at 6:15pmHaving just seen Macbeth at the Barrymore Theater I realized that I have been to 38 out of the 40 Broadway Theaters. I have The Cort and Circle In The Square left to go to. I will definitely see No Man's Land/Waiting for Godot this fall and that will leave me with one more. What is your number?

At one point, I counted over 20. But that was years ago. No idea now.
And I always pored through the "At This Theatre" section of the Playbill. I would imagine what it was like to sit in the same seat I was in and watch some of those incredible, classic shows.

Words don't deserve that kind of malarkey. They're innocent, neutral, precise, standing for this, describing that, meaning the other, so if you look after them you can build bridges across incomprehension and chaos. But when they get their corners knocked off, they're no good anymore…I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little.

I don't have any idea..I would have years of playbills to look through. So I am just going to say LOTS. It's also interesting to think about how many different shows we have seen at the same theaters.
Not to mention that some of the theaters have changed names. I had been to the Martin Beck theater years ago a number of times... and only recently realized it's the current Hirschfeld Theater.

If anyone else is as intrigued as I was by this, here's a list of all the Broadway houses. If you click on a specific theatre, it brings you to IBDB, which has each theatre's history.
