(Everything except the three Joseph trips has been since July 2006. If we're comparing e-penis size. ) I've also seen quite a bit at the Coliseum, and Sweeney Todd as a staged concert at the Royal Festival Hall. And a load of off-West End, an array of regional things, and a mess of tours (I've lost count of how many times I've seen Blood Brothers in my life, but I don't suppose I've ever seen it in London). Problem is, musicals tend to run for as long as they can rather than being limited runs right from the get-go, so I'll almost always choose to see a play over a musical 'cos I know the play is almost certainly going to go first. Plus, y'know, I REALLY REALLY like plays. :3 I really ought to get my ass in gear re: Oliver! and Sister Act...

e-penis size... lol

If this is a contest, than so far I'm winning. I've seen 173 Broadway musical productions (and still remembering more). This doesn't count multiple visits, plays, West End, Off-Broadway, Off-Off Broadway, regional, tours, etc.

I'm actually surprised that my 173 is the top number so far. The way many of the people here write and treat each other, I have felt a second class citizen without the experience necessary to "count". Interesting to find out differently.

Actually, you didn't. It's clear that I'm insecure about my e-penis size, so I felt compelled to write the above post.

I'm glad you did start this post though. It has been a lot of fun trying to remember all these shows, and I'm still trying. I wish the database here had easy access to a list of all Broadway musicals (or I knew how to search them), as it would be really cool to go through the entire list and get a definitive list for myself.

The more I think about this, the more I'm remembering, so my list is just growing.

Thanks for this post.
