Les Miserables, I saw it on New Year's Eve in 94, and I fell in love with The girls.
The second time, I enjoyed it better because I knew the music.
THe third time was before it closed and it was AMAZING. I finally understood how wonderful the song STARS is. It's definitely my favorite song of the show.
It's worth a shot/ :)

"1776" - in LA
Aside from the fact that I love the musical - probably the thing that brought me back to see it again intially was Kevin Earley.

Ragtime. I saw it right before is closed on Broadway as a graduation present and I saw it that summer while it was on tour at Wolftrap.
Why? I think it's a powerful musical with powerful music and lyrics. The ending gets me every time and I start bawling (which is pretty impressive since I rarely cry). And it's a special musical because it's what made me get into Broadway and theater in the first place.
The phrase "working mother" is redundant.

local-Oliver (my friend was in it and I saw the show 3 times)
Broadway-AIDA(because it was closing and Adam was back and the first time I saw it I realized I wanted to be an actor.)

With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail

Posted: 12/9/04 at 3:50pmLes Miserables. Why? Uh, duh, it's Les Mis. But my daddy loves me, so I talked him into letting me see in in SF and in Sacramento, two years apart. It was in that beautiful phase...

Phantom of the Opera the Tour.
Because Gary Mauer made me bawl my eyes out with that georgeus voice of his. I would marry him if he didn't have two children... and a wife...
Oh, and the third time it was amazing!
Also... the fourth.
It's my favorite musical of all time. I could see it a hundered times and never get old.

Posted: 12/9/04 at 4:10pmLes Miserables I fell in love with it
When someone blunders, we say that he makes a misstep. Is it then not clear that all the ills of mankind, all the tragic misfortunes that fill our history books, all the political blunders, all the failures of the great leaders have arisen merely from a lack of skill in dancing. - Moliere

CHICAGO.
My first Broadway show. Once I saw it, I couldn't resist seeing it just once, had to see it again. And I'm still craving to see it. Hopefully I can soon.

Les Mis, saw it twice... loved the music. Eponine is my favorite character. I've read the book three times.
Rocky Horror, saw it four times... Jarrod in the "floor show" - need I say more

Posted: 12/9/04 at 5:34pmRent i just loved it the first time and had to go back. There are some shows i wish i could have seen twice but they closed. I would have loved to see Cabaret againn for example.
"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell

I was just in New York to go to Rockers on Broadway and I went to see 42nd Street for the second time...It was great.
Off of Broadway, I saw Good Vibrations five times at Vassar College...and it was wonderful...or should I say Fun Fun Fun! Justin Guarini and the cast rocked!

Posted: 12/10/04 at 1:50amWICKED.... I't actually wasn't the first show I saw twice, but it's the first show I will have seen 5 times in less than a year. I don't know why I like it, I just do.... it's weird.
