GfC, if you've rented Twister 45 times, you should probably just buy the DVD :)

I've seen The Producers three times (twice on Broadway and once here in Baltimore). And I paid full price all three times (yeah I'm messed up like that). But it was totally worth the price and I'm always hoping for an opportunity to hit #4. 
I'll be seeing The Lion King for my second time in July when it comes here to Baltimore.

Posted: 2/22/05 at 10:08amProbably Man of La Mancha - I think I've seen about 5 different producions of it over the years (twice in the recent broadway revival) and I've performed in it in 4 different regional productions and one tour.
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!"

This is a fun thread!
Rocky Horror is at the top for me. Stopped counting after 40. Aida and Rent - lost count after 20. Les Miz - at least 8 times.Tick Tick Boom - I think 15? Wicked - 5.
Most shows I love I see at least twice. It's expensive but I never pay full price. Always a discount code, rush, or the cheap seats.

The theatre is one of the most expressive and useful instruments for the edification of a country; it is also the barometer which makes its greatness or its descent. A theatre which is sensitive and well oriented in all its branches from tragedy to vaudeville can in a few years change the sensibilty of the people; theatre which has been destroyed, in which cloven hooves take the place of wings, can put to sleep an entire nation. A people that does not aid and encourage its theatre is moribund if not dead; the theatre which does not gather to itself the best of society, of history, the drama of its people and the genuine color of its landscape and its spirit, with laughter or tears, does not deserve to call itself theatre, but rather a place for that horrible thing which is called killing time.- Federico Garcia Lorca

Posted: 2/24/05 at 7:24pmI've seen Rent over a hundred times in the last four years and Taboo 40 times. I didn't pay for all my tickets to either though and Rent was usually from lottery.

Depends on the context...
I've paid to see Les Miz like 5 times and POTO 4 times...
BUT...
If I'm involved in some way (i.e., choreographer) I'll see almost every performance.

i tend to stay away from seeing shows twice on b'way. I like to see a lot of different shows. I saw Beauty and the Beast twice as well as Lion King.

I don't like to see shows twice. I'd rather spend that money on seeing another show that I've never seen. But I have seen
~Phantom twice. A few years ago my mom took me, and last year we went for our school trip.
and
~Peter Pan twice. I saw it on tour with my mom and on Broadway with my stepmom and stepsister.

Posted: 2/24/05 at 8:40pmI dont know about seen, but I know I've heard RENT and Little Shop of Horrors (RENT- the cast recording is basically 90 percent of the show and I have the bible to fill in the dialogue). RENT-God at least 20-30 times....maybe a bit less for LSoH. Obsessed I am.
I wanted to get something that an "ex"-junkie like him would really appreciate and cherish....it's a brick of heroin shaped like a heart.

#121re: Which single show have you seen the most
Posted: 2/24/05 at 11:24pmOhhh yeah, my 3 BIG cast recording obsessions were Wicked, LSoH and RENT. I know it's not the same as seeing it and all but I don't even want to think about how many times I listened to those. Can someone say "Obsession?" :-P

I saw 42nd Street about 14 times.
I loved the show. I thought it was everything that a good ol'fashioned Broadway show should be: big, flashy, high energy and great music.
Anytime I had out of town guest I would take them to see it.
It was the type of show that I imagined all Broadway shows were like when I was growing up down south.
