Well, I'll skip the first part and try for the second (doing a preliminary count of just my last 5 years of theatre-going, I came up with roughly 325 separate Broadway and Off-Broadway shows (not counting the times I saw the same show more than once) ..... I've been attending NY theatre fairly regularly since the early 70's (and with very high frequency since I moved to NY in 1990 ..... you do the math ...... that's WAAAAAY too much typing).
In the next year or so, I'm looking forward to:
-- The Imaginary Invalid from the Comédie-Française at BAM (June) -- The Frogs (June) at LCT -- The Kathy & Mo Show at Second Stage (June-July -- their first shows together in over a decade .... they're SO brilliant!) -- Reckless by Craig Lucas with Mary-Louise Parker at Second Stage (Fall) -- The whole Paula Vogel season at Signature next year -- Rose Rage (Edward Hall's adaptation of the Henry VI plays) at The Duke on 42nd (September) -- Pacific Overtures at Roundabout (Studio 54?) in the Fall -- Democracy by Michael Frayn (Broadway in November) -- Dame Edna: Back With A Vengeance (Broadway in November) -- A Number by Caryl Churchill (NYTW in the Fall) -- The Pillowman by Martin McDonagh (Broadway in the Fall) -- Ain't Supposed to Die a Natural Death by Classical Theatre of Harlem -- Streetcar w/ Natasha Richardson (March 2005) -- Tom Stoppard's trilogy "The Coast of Utopia" (LCT TBA) -- Dreamgirls revival (TBA -- 2005?) -- Jerry Springer The Opera (TBA -- 2005?) -- Spamalot (TBA--2005?) -- Gem of the Ocean by August Wilson (TBA -- 2005?) -- Peter and Jerry by Albee, the re-worked version of "The Zoo Story" (TBA)
