Sadly, I have only seen about 8 shows total on Broadway, and none of them were repeats. I would like to see DRS again, and that may happen in the near future.

Posted: 12/20/05 at 7:00pmI'm at ten with Rent and that's the only Broadway show I have seen more than once, although I have seen several Off-Broadway productions multiple times.

I've seen The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Rent, Wicked, The Music Man, and Avenue Q twice. (I'm a butthead, I know.)

From my ushering days:
Show Boat - 78 performances before I had enough
Ragtime - 65 performances, including the ones I appeared in
Miss Saigon - 40 performances
Crazy for You - 10 performances
The Phantom of the Opera - 16 times (I left the opera house to work elsewhere after only two weeks)
RENT - 7 performances (seen a total of 12 times)
Chicago - 3 performances (seen a total of 6 times)
non-ushering:
Hairspray - I'm probably approaching 12 performances now
Wicked - probably 8 or 9
Spelling Bee - 3 times
Sweet Charity - 3 times
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - 3 times
Little Shop of Horrors - 2 times
Les Miserables - 5 times
That's what I remember. I obviously didn't include shows I've seen only once, and many of these are the official national tour. Though if I saw it on tour, as soon as moved to NY I went to see them again to chec out the differences. It's funny, I didn't care too much for Hairspray when I saw it on tour and now I can't get enough of it.

I'm fine, honey. Thanks for asking. Just trying to figure out how (and IF) I can get to work and back tomorrow (my mother just called and told me she doesn't want me walking over any bridges under any circumstances tomorrow).
And as far as the thread is concerned, I saw ANGELS IN AMERICA (both parts), DREAMGIRLS and A CHORUS LINE (over the course of two decades) more often than I care to admit.
