1) Word of mouth (friends, family etc)
2) Reviews
3) Marketing
4) The Cast Recording (if a musical)
5) The Cast/Director etc...
6) Other *specify*

Cast/Director/Author
The Cast Recording/ Word of mouth from BWWers here.
Interest in:
the show itself
performers in the show (leads or nonleads)
composer or playwright
In ending, other's opinons don't sway me. I find it interesting though and enjoy reading reviews form critics and theater fans. Even if I have no interest in a show and know someone who's seen it, I still ask what they thought ect....
Opinions of people on BWW and the cast!
I would have to say Word of Mouth from BWW first, and then a general interest in the show. Performers is another influence.
Bump.
I would have to say, for myself, the cast and word of mouth influence me most. I must admit, reviews also play a part. Somewhat.

1. Cast (not neccessarily well-known names, just actors whose performance I enjoyed previously, they will often make me want to see them in different plays.)
2. Cast Recording
3. BWW
