"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

I have only seen one show on Broadway, so it's a surprise that I have seen Ron Bohmer, Norm Lewis, and Julia Murney each twice (well, okay, with Norm Lewis, it was intentional). I've also seen Tracy Lynn Olivera four times, but she only has one Broadway credit to my knowledge.
And without knowing he was in any of them, I bought three cast recordings of musicals with Robert Westenberg in one day. (Guess who got an iTunes gift card as a present?)

It's probably going to be Geoffrey Streatfeild. Which is very pleasing! I've seen him in Henry IV Part 1, Henry IV Part 2, Henry V, Henry VI Part 1, Henry VI Part 2, Henry VI Part 3, Richard III, The Contingency Plan, Pains of Youth, and Eigengrau. So far! And I will continue seeing him in things for as long as he is in things. He is MARVELLOUS. :3
Broadway performers? Erm... does Jenny Galloway count? Seen her in Les Mis (on Broadway), Mary Poppins, The Music Man, and After the Dance. I don't get many opportunities to see Broadway performers, y'all. XD

Sutton Foster by a long shot. I saw her in Thoroughly Modern Millie once, The Drowsy Chaperone once, Young Frankenstein three times, Shrek six times, Anyone Can Whistle three times, solo concert four times, plus she performed at the Tonys when I went. Can you tell who my favorite is? :)
I am also seeing her in Trust next month, Anything Goes in Feb, and I have a couple more times I'm gonna be seeing her in concert coming up. So exciting!
