Holy cow. That's such an insanely large number. Well, perhaps I'd have CLOSE to that many if I counted every single show I've seen, including HS productions, one-acts, and community theater...

But, I can hardly fathom being fortunate/wealthy enough to see 171 Broadway-quality shows in a year! Whew!

I think I saw more shows multiple times than I did shows at all! (For example-I saw Grey Gardens 4 times, Spring Awakening 2 times) I did get lucky and see all the Tony Award winners minus Pajama Game (Jersey Boys, Sweeney Todd, Drowsy Chaperone) Coast of Utopia Parts 1 and 2, A Chorus Line.

After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away" -sex and the city

Spelling Bee - 8 times
Hairspray - 2 times
Altar Boyz - 1 time
The Drowsy Chaperone - 1 time
Grey Gardens - 1 time
Annie (tour) - 1 time, but I went backstage another day

I also saw both of the shows I worked on at school, which were "Odysseus Died from AIDS" and "The Rocky Horror Show."

I'm hoping to see Les Miserables on Broadway before I go back to school, or Mary Poppins.
