I was rummaging through my Playbills of mine the other day and realized I actually had overlapped performers in different shows (It's bound to happen, but it took a bit for my synapses to connect around this fact).
In my case, it's:
Danny Burstein (South Pacific, Women On The Verge, and Follies)
Aaron Tveit (Next To Normal, Catch Me If You Can)
Jan Maxwell (Lend Me A Tenor, Follies)
Will Swenson (HAIR and Priscilla)
Nick Adams (La Cage Aux Folles and Priscilla)
Fred Applegate (Young Frankenstein and La Cage Aux Folles)
Beth Leavel (Young Frankenstein and Baby It's You)
Wallace Smith (American Idiot and Godspell)
What are your cases of seeing one performer in many different shows?
Laura Benanti in Gypsy and Women on the Verge
Rebecca Luker in Mary Poppins and Death Takes a Holiday
Aaron Tveit in Hairspray and Next to Normal
Patti LuPone in Gypsy and Women on the Verge
Danny Burstein in Follies and Women on the Verge
Bernadette Peters in Night Music and Follies
Leigh Anne Larkin in Gypsy and Night Music
Alexandra Socha in Spring Awakening, The Dream of the Burning Boy, and Death Takes a Holiday
Mary Faber in How to Succeed and American Idiot
Krysta Rodriguez in In the Height and The Addams Family
John Gallgher Jr in Spring Awakening, American Idiot, and Jerusalem
Jennifer Damiano in Spring Awakening and Next to Normal
Estelle Parsons in August: Osage County and Good People
Frank Wood in August: Osage County and Angels in America
I'm sure there's more.
Audra McDonald in "Carousel", "Master Class", "Ragtime", "110 in the Shade". And soon, "Porgy and Bess"!
Rebecca Luker in "The Phantom of the Opera", "The Secret Garden" and "Mary Poppins".
Norbert Leo Butz in "Wicked" and "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels".
Nathan Lane in "Guys and Dolls", "Laughter on the 23rd Floor" and "A Funny Thing..."
Terrence Mann in "Beauty and the Beast", "Getting Away with Murder" and "The Scarlet Pimpernel".
Kelli O'Hara in "Light in the Piazza" and "South Pacific"
