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
Marc Kudish in Assassins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Michael Cerveris in Assassins and Sweeney Todd Sally Murphy in Fiddler on the Roof and Bernarda Alba Stephanie D'Abruzzo in Ave. Q and I Love You Because Norbert Leo Butz in Wicked and DRS
Norbert Leo Butz as Fiyero in WICKED & Freddy in DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS
Sherie Rene Scott as Amneris in AIDA & Christine in DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS

I'm sure there are many, but I can only think of a few right now...
Betty Buckley in "Cats" and "Edwin Drood" Howard McGillin in "Edwin Drood" and "Phantom of the Opera" Marin Mazzie in "Big River" and "Ragtime" Harvey Fierstein in "Torch Song Trilogy" and "Hairspray" Victoria Clark in the chorus/ensemble of Titanic and How To Succeed. Judy Kuhn in "Edwin Drood" (chorus) and "Les Miz" as well as pre-Broadway "Sunset Blvd."
Many others...
I'm still reeling over Tom's list!

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!
