What show have you seen the most times? — Page 2

Phantom of the Opera - 5

The Book of Mormon - 4

Wicked - 4

Jersey Boys - 4

Several twice mostly on tour. Though tbh I confess to going to Wicked because it was playing for such a long time on tour that I really just wanted to go see a theatre show and it happened to be the one playing and it would be too long to wait for the next one haha. Jersey Boys is one of the favs, and I'm still impressed a managed to get tickets to Book of Mormon so easily

Phantom of the Opera is the only show that I've seen more than a couple of times (I'm not counting seeing multiple productions of the same title). It's the show that started my theatre obsession back in the very early 90s. My first viewing was the tour on its first stop in Cleveland back in 94, with repeats in Cleveland in 97/98 (I can't remember for sure which, just that it was my senior year of high school) and again in 2010 (one of its final stops). I saw the Toronto production once, and have seen it on Broadway three times.

I finally saw the new tour a few weeks ago, and will probably need to go see it again on Broadway sometime soon so I can rid myself of (most of) the memories of that tour (there were a few performances I liked in the current touring cast, but boy was there a lot wrong with it as well).

There aren't very many other shows that I've bought tickets for to see multiple times on Broadway (I recently spent a year and a half working in the office for one of the merch companies, so there are some shows that I've seen a LOT, but not necessarily by choice).

OOTI- 3
Aladdin- 3
Anastasia- 2
Waitress- 2
Dear Evan Hansen- 2

Everything else I’ve only seen once.

By the end of this year, I’ll have seen OOTI 5 times and the first time I saw it was September. Mostly seeing it multiple times to see Hailey before she leaves (I’m 0/3 so far).

If I’m being honest, I only saw Waitress for Katharine McPhee otherwise, I wouldn’t have seen it at all.

Mamma Mia - 25 times

Wicked - 8 times

Rent - haven't counted but probably around 7 times

Others I have repeated 3x or more...Les Miserable, We Will Rock You, Matilda

Between the 05 tour, various high school, regional and community productions, as well as performances I’ve been lin 30+ for Little Shop of Horrors

Book of Mormon 18 times. 12 with the Latter Day Tour (the best cast I saw it with), 5 with Jumamosi, and 1 on bway

Wicked 13

Once on this Island 5

This is only counting Broadway productions, not tours, regionals, London, etc.:

The Phantom of the Opera 71

Chicago 29

Les Miserables 16 (original and two revivals)

Rent 13

Avenue Q 12

Spring Awakening (2006 version) 9

Hamilton 5 (+6 in Chicago)

Not surprisingly, Phantom is the show I've seen the most outside of Broadway too, including London, high school, college, Las Vegas, original tour, and new tour.

The Book of Mormon 7 times. I'm from a town far from NY (about 2000 miles) and at least 2.5 hours from any town that has a theatre that hosts touring productions, so 7 is actually quite a lot of times for me to see a show. It's difficult to get repeat viewings in for me since my time in NY is so precious, but I fell in love with BoM when I first saw it back in 2011. A couple of the repeat viewings was to take friends.

I am not into seeing a show more than once so the few shows I have seen multiple times it is because I am attending it with somebody who had never seen the show. I saw "Movin Out" three times so that is the show I have seen the most. There are probably about six or seven shows I have seen twice.

When I was younger (and mostly lived in NJ), I always wanted to see everything, which kept report visits down to a reasonable level. Living in Florida now, that is even more the case. Even so...stopped at 5 that I can recall...

Follies -- 11

Hello, Dolly -- 10

Mame -- 9

Gypsy -- 9 (6 with Angela Lansbury)

Les Miserables -- 8 that I can recall, but I think it was probably more, since I can recall 7 outside of NYC

The Apple Tree -- 9 (if you count only seeing Acts 2 and 3 for 4 times...I was young enough that I didn't actually enjoy Act 1 that much, so sneaking in for Acts 2 and 3 started after seeing it 4 times. Only went to see it so many times because of Barbara Harris' performance.

A Little Night Music -- 8

Chicago -- 7

Cabaret -- 7

The King and I -- 6 or 7

Kinky Boots -- 6

Phantom -- 6

Wicked -- 6

Sweeney Todd -- 6

Dreamgirls -- only 5 times, but all with Jennifer Holliday

Man of La Mancha -- 5

South Pacific -- 5

Over Here -- 5

1776 -- 5

My Fair Lady -- 5

Promises! Promises! -- and NEVER has a show aged so badly

Streetcar -- 5

Long Day's Journey -- 5

Evita -- 5

Chess -- 5 (the worst was the Broadway version, none were perfect, the score was the reason to go).



Cant think of any others that I saw 5 times, although there probably were others
