Yes.

Posted: 5/11/08 at 5:28pmI may be wrong, but I think that Sonny has a bit more stage time than Clio/Kira in Xanadu.

Please! The whole show is only 90 mins long!
Too long!
A young actress with Noel coward after a dreadful opening night performance said to him 'Well, i knew my lines backwards this morning!''
Noels fast reply was ''Yes dear, and thats exactly how you said them tonight'!'

Posted: 5/11/08 at 7:11pmKira and Sonny both are on stage almost the entire running time of Xanadu. (And if you like looking at Cheyenne, like me, you are very thankful for this!)

Posted: 5/11/08 at 8:43pmShocked that Salieri (AMADEUS) hasn't come up yet. He's pretty much the show.
Some people paint, some people sew, I meddle.

Max Bialystock - I believe he's onstage for all of Act 1 except "Opening Night, and "I Wanna Be A Producer". In Act 2, he only leaves the stage for "That Face" and "Springtime for Hitler".
Jo in Little Women - The actress playing Jo is onstage almost the entire show.
Kim in Miss Saigon
Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors.

Posted: 5/11/08 at 9:12pmMan in The Chair literally never left the stage, only like once. Also when Kristen was in The Apple Tree she was on the stage the whole time. I believe it's Paul in A Chorus Line and Cassie who are on stage the longest.

Posted: 5/12/08 at 1:10amI think in Lestat Hugh was off stage for when Carolee sang Beautiful Boy and then tiny snippets here or there. He pretty much never left stage.

Wouldn't the person in a one man or one woman shows be onstage the longest?
Other than that Elle in Legally Blonde and Elphaba in Wicked.
Don't believe everything that you hear! Only the peeps involved know the truth!

Jane and Michael Banks in Mary Poppins, or even Bert and Mary.... Practically never leave the stage (or briefly)
Narrator in Joseph is onstage for most of the scenes, maybe not most time, but most scenes.
