It worked out so I saw Denee, Lauren, and Shoba as Natasha. But I rarely go back to a show often enough to see all the understudies, replacements, etc. Two or at most three visits is enough for me and usually I only go back because I'm taking someone with me. I like to lose myself in the show instead of comparing performances though I am glad I got to see both Bette and Donna play Dolly and both Kelli and Marin play Anna.

Saw The Rocky Horror Show twelve times, and in that time, I saw Tom Hewitt, Terrence Mann, James Stovall, and Kevin Cahoon all play Frank 'N' Furter. I believe that was everyone who was either cast as or understudying the role.

I did this with the Brazilian production of Wicked. I saw every possible person in each of the roles. I also saw every possible Valjean in the Brazilian revival of Les Mis. I think it was the only ones where I've managed that.

She only did it once, but Lansbury was the best Sweeney Todd I’ve ever seen. Len Cariou was in Connecticut with Betty Bacall and their car ran out of gas as they were headed back to town.

He never made it to the Uris.

Merle Louise was a remarkable Mrs. Lovett. It was a night to remember.

Sigh.

Seeing “Something Rotten” 16 Times, I managed to see all 4 Shakespeare’s -Borle, Chase, Sciotto and Pascal. I would rate them in that order too!

I saw both Nick and Nigel Bottems and 2 Beas (as well as 2 understudies for each role)

I saw one actor - David Hibbard play his 4 understudy leads as well as his regular ensemble track.

I think if the show has still be on, I’d have continued to watch it!!
