I should have got this in before the New Year (BTW... happy and safe 2016 to all; sorry about that hangover this morning) but I'm curious... how many theatrical shows did you see in 2015? Good estimates are OK. So ... if you saw Hamilton 5 times that's 5 + whatever else you had $ for, and can you stick to theater and not include comedy/caberet/movies unless you can segregate those. Anyway... my 2015 was way slow and I'm going to guestmate it was 25 times. That sucks! No wonder I'm so cranky!

I would guess that I saw about 50 Broadway shows...including a couple off Broadway shows. This number includes some repeat visits to Fun Home, Matilda, Finding Neverland, Kinky Boots, On the Town, & The Audience as far as remember.

Geez....can't believe that many of you keep track!
My best guess would be between 50 and 60...including bway, off bway and regional.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

I went to the theatre 57 time this year, mostly in London, but 16 of those were Broadway shows. There was a few that I saw twice too.

I could easily keep track because I save every playbill and every ticket stub and have since "forever"...I could go back 30 years and see what shows I saw and when (and how much they cost!!).
However, for this thread, I didn't have the motivation to write down each one..LOLOL so I guesstimated.
