I don't know....I go nearly every month and see 2 or 3 each month, then there are my two week long stays with 4 to 7 shows each and my 3 trips in August....hmmmm 23 would be fair guess, if not a conservative one. (Obviously, some are repeats or off b'way.)
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle
July- In the Heights, A Little Night Music, South Pacific, Next to Normal
I live about 500 miles away from the city, so I don't get to go very often. I am hoping to go up to see Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, though.
"In theater, the process of it is the experience. Everyone goes through the process, and everyone has the experience together. It doesn't last - only in people's memories and in their hearts. That's the beauty and sadness of it. But that's life - beauty and the sadness. And that is why theater is life." - Sherie Rene Scott
April - Sondheim on Sondheim, West Side Story, Next to Normal, La Cage Aux Folles, A Little Night Music, Anyone Can Whistle
I live about 10,000 miles away from the city, so I don't get to go very often :P.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000
