I was figuring this out a few weeks ago:

the most interesting one is: EDWARD HIBBERT- Noises Off, The Drowsy Chaperone (3x), Curtains (2x)

SUTTON FOSTER- Throughly Modern Millie, The Drowsy Chaperone (3x), Young Frankenstein (2x), Shrek

NORBERT LEO BUTZ - Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (many, many times), Is He Dead? (2x), Speed-the-Plow

JAMES BARBOUR - Jane Eyre, Tale of Two Cities (2x)

NICK WYMAN - Les Mis (3x), Tale of Two Cities (2x)

DAVID HYDE PIERCE - Curtains (2x), Accent on Youth

CHRISTIAN BORLE - Monty Python's Spamalot, Legally Blonde

CHRIS SIEBER - Spamalot, Shrek

that's all i can think of right now.

Leslie Kritzer: The Great American Trailer Park Musical, Legally Blonde, A Catered Affair, Rooms, Judas and Me (NYMF), Pop! (Yale Rep), Sondheim on Sondheim. Oh, and Law & Order: SVU. :)

Hugh Panaro - Les Miz (Marius), Phantom, Lestat, Company, Les Miz (Valjean)

Tim Martin Gleason - Saw him as Raoul in Phantom more times that I want to bother counting

Tommar Wilson - Lestat, Hairspray, Hair

I know that if I pull my stack of Playbills from the spare bedroom and look through them, I'll probably find many, many people I've seen in multiple roles over the years, especially in ensembles and supporting roles.

Slightly surprised as she's not a particular favourite of mine (though I do like her), but for me it's British actress Nancy Carroll. I've seen her on stage in The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Voysey Inheritance, See How They Run, The Man of Mode, Waste, Arcadia, Twelfth Night and After the Dance. I also have a programme from productions of Henry IV 1 & 2 that she was in, but I have absolutely no memory of seeing them. Updated On: 6/29/10 at 09:45 AM

Howard McGillin: Drood, Anything Goes, She Loves Me, The Secret Garden, Sunday in the Park With George (1984).

A coincidence or crush?

Oddly enough, I never saw him in Phantom.

[perfectlymarvelous]

Posted: 6/29/10 at 12:58pm

I think Norbert Leo Butz wins for me...I've seen him in Wicked, Is He Dead?, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Speed-the-Plow, and Enron.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 6/29/10 at 1:04pm

Raul Esparza, though I refuse to try to count because I feel like a dumbass. I believe he wins both for the most different shows and performances period. :)

[Eris0303]

Posted: 6/29/10 at 1:11pm

Lindsay Mendez - Grease, Marvelous Wonderettes, Everyday Rapture
Beth Leavel - Drowsy Chaperone, Young Frankenstein, Mamma Mia (I need to check my playbill when I get home to see if I saw her in 42nd Street)

Janine Davita - Tale of Two Cities, Grease, Rainbow Around the Sun

I'm sure there are more. I need to check my playbills when I get home

Aaron Tveit - Hairspray, Saved, Next To Normal

[bjh2114]

Posted: 6/29/10 at 2:40pm

Off the top of my head, I think Brian D'Arcy James, Raul Esparza, and Nathan Lane are tied with 5 each. I might be forgetting additional credits or someone else altogether.

Brian: Lieutenant of Inishmore, Apple Tree, Next to Normal (2st and Broadway), Shrek, Time Stands Still, Titanic

Raul: Company, The Homecoming, Speed-the-Plow, Twelfth Night, Anyone Can Whistle.

Nathan: Odd Couple, Butley, November, Waiting for Godot, Addams Family.

EDIT: Brian wins with 6... I forgot about Titanic.

Just kidding. Jan Maxwell has six. Follies, Lend Me a Tenor, The Royal Family, Wings, To Be Or Not To Be, Coram Boy. Updated On: 11/1/11 at 02:40 PM
