yeah, as much as I love the show I don't know if I could either. Maybe if I were really crazy about the casts, or if I were bringing new people.

Spelling Bee and Les Miz are the only shows I've seen twice (and that's the most!) After I know all the words and music very well, nothing really suprises me, and I just figure, why go back?

Les Miz tops my list at 24. All of these would be on tour in the US or in London.

After that, I think it goes something like:

Jersey Boys: 6
Spelling Bee: 5
La Boheme: 4
Big River revival: 3
Little Women: 3
Lennon (SF): 3
Urinetown: 2
BATB: 2
Lestat (SF): 2 (I couldn't help myself. It was an... experience.)

I'm probably forgetting something, but oh well.

I'm on 44 for Les Mis - which sounds astounding but seeing as how I started in 1987 and I was a volunteer usher at a tour stop on more than one occasion, it isn't quite the feat that it sounds like. Its WAY ahead of all my other "repeat viewing" shows.

Probably second acted it.

All Shook Up - 14 times (in about the span of four months)
Jersey Boys - 13 times (planning on many more)
Wicked - I believe nine or ten.
Hairspray - believe nine or ten also.

Have seen many shows twice and three times, including Spelling Bee, Spring Awakening, Sweeney Todd, Avenue Q, A Chorus Line, The Drowsy Chaperone, and The Wedding Singer (though I didn't like the show - wanted to give it another chance), Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.
