Forbidden Broadway 41 times over 23 years

Avenue Q- Five times because I love it.
What shows make you happy?
I also loved Millie- Saw it 6 times. Sutton was incredible in it. So was the rest of the cast.
Hairspray- Three times. Jackie Hoffman, Mary Bond Davis and Kerry Butler. Wish Jackie and Kerry were still in.
Wonderful Town- Three Times- Love Donna Murphy

I would love to see avenue q again. That show is great! It isn't funny but i have seen rent 7 times. I find that i come out of that show with something new each time.

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell plus i proudly share the title of the shortest member over the age of 10 with wickedrentq!

Serious, dramatic, amazing shows make me happy. Even if they make me depressed, I'm happier. It's strange. I am usually turned off by comedy, because I find that almost every comedy to open is not funny at all. So I totally go for drama. This is what comes to mind:

Taboo
Rent
Bare
Nine

Hairspay(ive seen it twice...LOVE IT) ummm Wicked (but it would have to be spread out....like once a year or something...i saw it three times already)

Not funny but RENT (ive seen it twice) and possibly Little Women ( icould listen to that cast sing for days in a row...i love them)

I saw the PRODUCERS for a second time and did not enjoy myself at all- I loved it the first time but i was bored and unentertained the second time.

One of the main reasons that I saw Wonderful Town so much was because it was fluffy and could make me feel better when I was having really crappy days.
