What I do is...
- Send out large amounts of fanmail in the hopes of getting a signed playbill back.
- Buy/trade Playbills online.
- I hav a friend who sees ton of broadway shows, but refuses to keep playbills because they clutter her apartment. So I get them.

This site, Playbill and planning the next trip. Knowing that there's New York City and theatre in my future keeps me sane.
Barely.

On days I'm in NYC to see two productions, I just keep my IPod plugged into my ears.
The rest of the time I run a private theatre museum outside of Princeton New Jersey. Aside from thousand of Playbills, hundreds of scripts, scores of autographs, over a hundred framed window cards, the door to the Minskoff Theature with Alice Ripley as Betty Schaefer from Sunset Blvrd, many many opening night gifts and a library of shows on video/tape/cassette/DVD's, it takes a considerable ammount of time and energy to keep it maintained and up to date.

To "once a month" -- That sounds incredible! What fun. I am jealous.
To all else, thanks for the ideas and by all means, keep them coming :)

CD's (on my Ipod), this site, I also collect the playbills--but only for the first time I see a show--otherwise I'd be swamped. But---I get such a rush every time I score tickets to a show---it is seriously addictive!

Well, I do have *other* interests. :P Playing music, reading books, baking delicious food, catching up on various TV shows, hanging with friends and family... 
If we're being literal with "Broadway", then I quell the theatre-going urge by going to the West End. If we can use the "the major theatre capital on your side of the Atlantic" definition though, then I chat about theatre online, read playtexts, listen to cast recordings, and indulge in my other interests so I don't get completely burnt-out on theatre. :)
