The "Lea Michele to Star as Fanny Brice in Funny Girl" thread currently has 970 replies and 200,813 views. Is that a record? Do we know of other threads that have approached or exceeded these numbers? Do you have any threads over time that have been your personal favorites?

Personal faves are any Broadway preview and cast recording threads! I love how much traction they gain once I start them.

That Lea Michele thread probably set a record for how quickly it got to those numbers, but there are others that have been going for years that exceed them.

Well, I would hope so. I don't get Lea Michel's appeal at all.

To answer my own question. My favorite threads have been those where folks have talked about their first theatre-going experiences. Their first shows, Broadway or elsewhere.

Too bad the internet and this BWW message board wasn't around in 1994 with the Glenn Close / Patti Lupone fiasco going on over at 'Sunset Boulevard'. If you all think this is a popular thread can you imagine what that would have been like ? And then we throw in Faye Dunaway that summer just for the fun of it ? Geez....
