What show have you seen the most times?

For me, it's a tie. I've seen Parade, Ragtime, Legally Blonde, My Fair Lady, Sweeney Todd, Evita, and A Christmas Carol five times each, usually in different productions (in the case of Legally Blonde, the only reason I've seen it this much is because I have had to support numerous friends performing in productions).

Gypsy, Next to Normal, Merrily We Roll Along, The Glass Menagerie, and Measure for Measure are all close behind with four productions each.

SpongeBob -33  (No regrets.)

The ones right behind it: 

Cabaret (1998 revival) - 6

Hamilton and Twelfth Night (2013 - also saw it in London 3x in 10 yrs) - 5 

American Psycho and The Color Purple revival - 4

AP might have been up there in competition with SB had it not closed. 

Are any of you guys ushers, I've seen wicked 30 times because i volunteered at the theater i was at, unless you're not counting ushering as a time watching the show

 

its not even my favorite show, it was just in Houston for a month and a half

I’m also curious about the effect of seeing a show repeatedly, especially within a certain amount of time. I actually sorta regret seeing wicked these last three times within the space of a week (including twice in one day). I admit I’m a bit burned out on it right now.

I have also seen Hamilton three times - once on Broadway in 2015 and twice in Chicago while there for work (11/17 & 7/1. I have loved it each time, but I admit I had a much more emotional response to it in November than I did in July.

I’ve seen other shows twice but years apart (The Book of Mormon - Broadway in 2012 and on tour in OKC this year) (Rent - first tour through Tulsa over 10 years ago then on tour this year) (Avenue Q on tour several years ago then again at a college production in Nebraska this year). This wasn’t problematic because enough time had elapsed between my initial experience of the show so I was able to rediscover the show in a way and in some cases appreciate it even more. Oh, I also saw Dolly in November with Bette and again with Bernadette in February, but they brought different takes to the role so it was fresh both times.

I also saw the premier of a production in okc (When We’re Gone) twice in a week, mainly because I liked it enough to see it again and knew I might not have a chance to see it again. I actually liked it even more the second time.

But I think I’ll be more gun-shy about seeing a show repeatedly within a short time again.

I did see a college production of Dogfight (my first time) last Sunday. I loved it and have fallen in love with the OBCR and wanted to see it again. It is probably good that it sold out the rest of its limited run. Lol
