With all the theater I see, it amazes me how few actors I can think of that I've seen more than once. I guess it's because I don't get to B'way that often. Most of my viewing is in the Boston area, with a few special trips taken to see a certain favorite. Here goes:
Sebastian Arcelus - The Full Monty at NSMT; Wicked on tour
David Hess - Dessa Rose, Ragtime at Paper Mill
Donna McKechnie - A Chorus Line, Sweet Charity on tour
Rachel York - Summer of '42, Sly Fox, Dessa Rose, Ragtime, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
That's all I can think of for now.

I just saw Edward Hibbert in The Drowsy Chaperone and, last night, Curtains.
What a difference giving a guy lines makes! He was hands down the best character in that dang show. Good job, Edward!
