Posted: 4/23/07 at 3:28pmyeah, 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.
#101re: The Most You've Seen a Show?

Posted: 4/23/07 at 4:48pmSpelling 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.

Posted: 4/23/07 at 5:11pmPhantom - By the end of the summer-- 14 times
#106re: The Most You've Seen a Show?
Posted: 4/23/07 at 5:13pmI'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.

Les Miz-twice...
I don't see a need for seeing a show more than once when (in my case at least) I have so many other shows on my too-see list...

Probably second acted it.
All Shook Up - 14 times (in about the span of four months)
