"There’s nothing quite like the power and the passion of Broadway music. "
My opportunities to go to New York and soak up the Broadway World ran from 2001 - January, 2012. During that wonderful time I managed to get to all but 3 (and those were missed simply because there was always something else playing at another theater that I wanted to see more). Maybe between now and the time i kick off this mortal coil I'll get a chance to get to those three.

And as I said on the thread that seems to have gotten this thread going again (not complaining)
I've been to all of them EXCEPT the August Wilson. And I'll have to wait for Jersey Boys to vacate as I have never had any interest in seeing it.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.
Ha! dramamama, I'm in the EXACT same boat as you! The August Wilson is the last one for me as well, and for the same reason. I know someone who joining the cast of Jersey Boys soon, and I'm considering seeing the show while he is in it. I'd be killing two birds with one stone: supporting him and completing my collection of Broadway theatres!
I've been to all 40 as of last year. I keep an Excel spreadsheet of all of my show information so that one day when I am old and can't remember, I am able to go back and piece it all together. I also saw my 100th show last week, which was pretty exciting. I am fortunate enough to have the means to get from CA to see so many great performances.
24. I had to make a spreadsheet and read thru each theatre's wiki to jog the memory. I think I got them all. Not to bad considering I don't live in NYC.
