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!

Posted: 7/21/09 at 12:49amI 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."

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

Posted: 7/21/09 at 3:50amI think Rent and Altar Boyz are tied at seven for me.
