How many times have you seen some of your favorites?

Posted: 12/11/06 at 8:46am

I thought this might be cute since I went to go see The Wedding Singer for the 5th time this past weekend. So, I ask...how many times have you guys seen some of your favorites on broadway/off broadway: Here is my list:

Wedding Singer: 5 times
Rent: 4 times on broadway; 2 tour productions (hershey and washington)
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels: 3 times
Wicked: 3 times (all with OBC)
Jersey Boys: 2 times

and...I am getting tickets to see Grey Gardens for the second time in about 2 weeks! Can we say ADDICTION!


I made a list of all your faults, it was quite detailed and lengthy too and when I read it through I missed you. Your like a classic Eagles song, you just cant help but sing along even though it sometimes gets annoying too. I just know I want to be wherever I can wake and see you there next to me. **High Fidelity** Love is what I do **The Wedding Singer** Xanadu - Best NEW Musical of the Season!

For me, three is my limit. I've seen a bunch of shows three times: Rent, Les Miserables, A Chorus Line (Original), Chicago (Revival), Aida, Drowsy Chaperone, Spelling Bee, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, etc. However, to the best of my recollection I haven't seen anything a fourth time.

Oh boy. I will readily admit to seeing my favorites multiple times. My top three:

Hairspray - 31
Altar Boyz - 29
Spelling Bee - 10

I know there are others on here though that can beat those numbers.

RentHead2, I highly recommend Forbidden Broadway. I had heard of it for years but never had the desire to see it. I went on a whim and loved it. It's hilarious! And the show changes every few weeks/months because there is always something new on Broadway to poke fun at.

I need to get back to Drowsy soon. Troy was out the night I saw it. But that lotto is hard to win!

Well some of us don't live anywhere close to any proffesional shows/theatres, and some of us can't afford it which is the truth. But I've seen Wicked twice (Chicago and Bway). And that's a record for me.

The only show I've seen more than once so far was Les Mis, which I saw twice.

Cats 3 times (all the same recent Troika tour)... Now, if you thought twice was already enough.
Once as a 'concert version'
Another time as a refund ticket
Then, one last time as the part of Broadway/LA season..

I saw Sweeney seven times, Aida five. I've seen Rent eight times and the Company revival six, counting the one in Cincinnati.

I refuse to disclose my highest number. Some of you know it, but looking back, it is nothing but embarassing. It's not even all that high compared to many people here -- it just barely reaches the double digits, but the combination of the number and the show just... makes me feel ridiculous.

Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married.
