I'm not insulting anyone who has seen Rent or Les Mis 40+ times, but doesn't it get boring after a while?

Yes. In fact, I just go because I find theatre seats incredibly comfortable, and I don't snore.

testing...It took me a minute too and I only got it because of some of our conversations. :) Not all of us were around NYC when that was playing, so it's not normal verbiage. But it's cool! :P

I totally get they're easier. I remember all the WTF? comments the first time I used TYOMT (The Year of Magical Thinking). Confused the heck out of some people I figured would pick it right up.

That includes an equity tour for Chicago and Chita.

Sweeney Todd seven times is the most for me at any specific show.

Please tell me that I am not the only one who doesn't keep track. I've filled out polls that are similiar to the one in this thread, and I honestly have to think way to hard to figure it out...and even then I am quite certain my count was wrong.

I couldn't tell you how many times I have seen my favorite show. I think it is between 8 and maybe 11, but really...I don't know.

My acting teacher told us we are not allowed to see a show more than 2 times. He said "when you see a show three or more times, you aren't a fan, you are a stalker." Unless we are going to be IN the show he said. crazy.

Well, goody for him. That's HIS opinion.

Every single night, I'm inclined to agree with him. But more than twice? No way.

I've seen Wicked 4 times and he was like mad at me.

So? It's not his money or life. Besides, if it's with different people, what's the issue? You get to see different takes on things. And really things can change from one night to another.

My old testament professor at seminary threatened to retroactively flunk anyone she found out was using Veggietales. Hasn't happened. They don't have THAT much power.

edit: Sorry. It's just that kind of holier than thou attitude irks me whatever the subject. :) I'm not fussing at you theatrediva. Promise.

I saw RENT once so far (at least two more times this upcoming August though), but if I had had my way when I was younger, that number would've been sky high, lol. Most for me was Les Mis (non revival) twice, and GG as of the their final show will be twice. I would have loved to see a bunch of current shows over again, but I am trying to get through them all once, before repeating, it is so hard though.

Wow.
I've probably seen Rent about 15 times over the years. I went a few months ago and was bored (and I really really loved that show "back in the day") .
Otherwise I've pretty much seen everything else once or twice. I saw company 4 times..
I've seen Avenue Q 4 or 5 times taking everyone I know to see it when it first came out.
