I refuse to see anything twice.
Especially since I don't live in the city, I like to see as much as possible. Expand the horizons.
I've never had a desire to see a show twice, either. Except Light in the Piazza.
What a beautiful, beautiful experience (even in the farthest seat away from the stage!)

i'm not that impressive i've seen wicked and lion king twice, and 42nd twice, but one was on tour. I don't know why, I hate 42nd street, but... it was a mandatory trip the 2nd time so...

Posted: 12/21/05 at 7:58pmI've never seen shows on Broadway more than once, but if we're counting tours, regional theatre, and other productions I have seen Sweeney Todd 17 times and was in it once for a three week run.

Who cares how many times you've seen a show? I'd much rather see MORE shows than the same one over and over.
That said, I've seen Les Mis, Rent, Chicago, and Phantom 3 times each (though the three latter ones each include a touring production when I was in college).
I'm much prouder of the fact that I've seen nearly 100 shows on Broadway...

Just because there are a few shows people choose to see over and over, doesnt mean they dont see other shows as well.
It's very easy -- especially when you live in the city -- to see a whole lot of shows in one week.

The most I've seen a show is twice. and I've seen them twice because I go once with my family, and then a club or group I'm in takes a trip, so I go again.
I've seen Wicked, Aida, Les Miz, 42nd Street, Beauty and the Beast, and Mamma Mia twice.

Posted: 12/21/05 at 11:17pmLes Mis. I think the count is up to 8 now. I also performed in the show, so that must quadruple the number- all those dress rehearsals and shows...and the tour's coming

Sideshow - 5 times, which is a feat considering it was only in the theater 4 months or so before it closed.
Truly a pity.

I've seen Rent 7 times (only once was ON Broadway. The other 6 times were in Detroit and Toronto). I've lost count on how many times I've seen Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, but I've seen many different productions of it. Les Mis comes in at 5 times.

Completely agree with you there! That was an excellent show that should have run much longer.
