The most times you've ever seen a show

Posted: 7/21/09 at 12:47am

Just wondering? For me the most times I've ever seen a show is 9 to 5 which I've seen 7 times. second is Gypsy, with LuPone which I saw 6 times after that I've got a list of shows I've seen twice.

I'm really curious who here has seen a single show the most times!

I know I am not even close. I am also at 7, for "Blithe Spirit." My second best was a tie at 5 for "Gypsy!" with LuPone (if counting City Center) and "Brooklyn the Musical."

We're all amatuers...there are folks out there that have seen the same show HUNDREDS of times.

I'm in double digits for a few shows but AT or under 30:
Les Mis
Spring Awakening

Les Miz: 58. Mostly the tour, and two performances on Broadway.

Plus 3 school editions.

I've seen Blood Brothers literally countless times (well, I probably could count them, if I could only remember how many there were!). Beyond that... well, does it have to be the same production each time? If so, then currently Wicked and the RSC Hamlet are tied, with four trips each. And possibly that's everything you could ever need to know about my theatre-going habits in a single post. XD

Spring Awakening - 19 (but I also interned for the production!)
Then, I believe, a ton are tied at 3, 4, or 5
