Posted: 12/5/05 at 6:30amWRQ- I don't have to list them all. Just figure every musical on broadway, most off-broadway, ranging from once per show to 26 times per show. You get the idea.

Posted: 12/5/05 at 6:41amWith the exception of Jersey Boys, which I will see eventually, I've seen every musical to open on Broadway at least once. I've seen most (if not all) that opened off-Broadway too.

Posted: 12/5/05 at 11:57amI won't type them all out -- it would take too much time and effort -- but I've seen just under 100 professional shows in the New York area so far this year (Broadway, off-Broadway, off-off-Broadway, City Center, BAM, Papermill, The Delacorte etc....). I only saw four shows more than once (twice each; two were shows that transferred from off to On Broadway that I wanted to see again to determine how well they held up in their new venues).

Which simply means, "Margo is our master."
Which is fine with me.
I stand corrected, you are as vapid as they say.
#63re: How often do you see musicals in a year?
Posted: 12/5/05 at 12:08pmWRQ- I think it may be more than that...
#64re: How often do you see musicals in a year?
Posted: 12/5/05 at 12:12pmLiotte, I put you at 200 shows, 100 Broadway related gatherings and 50 sporting events. The other 15 days you rested.

Posted: 12/5/05 at 3:35pmCan I ask how you guys manage to afford and make time to see all these shows? Do you always use TKTS or get lottery tickets? Do you usually go alone? I'm absolutely astounded by some of these posts.

Posted: 12/5/05 at 5:14pmI average one or two shows a month. Mostly musicals. I would say at least 10 to 12 musicals a year.

I try to get to New York at least twice a year for long weekends. I pack as many shows as possible into four days. This past weekend, I saw five, my personal record.
I also have season tickets for Broadway Across America, which includes six shows. Then, I see pretty much anything and everything that comes to South Florida.
So far this year, I've seen 12 Broadway shows, 3 tours, 2 reviews and 1 Off-Broadway show.
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be enbered with your old nonsense. ~ Emerson
