Inspired by CapnHook's post, what Broadway theatre have you seen the MOST shows in?

And it doesnt count if you saw RENT or WICKED 17 times. Thats still one show.

For me, its STUDIO 54.

The People in the Picture, Brief Encounter, Waiting for Godot, Pal Joey, Sunday in the Park with George, The Ritz, The Apple Tree, and Cabaret.


Interesting... CABARET was my 1st Bwy Show (June, 2000), and PEOPLE IN THE PICTURE was my last (yesterday)

Without doing any homework I THINK it's what is currently known as the Foxwoods - 42nd Street, Pirate Queen, & Young Frankenstein

Even though I've kept track of the dates and original casts of each of my 337 plays and musicals since 1970, I couldn't begin to fathom how often I've been to each NY Theatre.

Any theatre historians out there with an awful lot of spare time care to contribute?

Broadhurst - Les Miserables, Equus, Mary Stuart, The Merchant of Venice

Definitely the Gaiety- Joey Stephano, Will Clark, Billy Brandt, Chris Williams, Christian Fox, Gianfranco, Carlos Morales, Rod Barry, Jason Adonis, Tristan Adonis, Hunter James, Jon Ramsey, Mark Dalton, Johnny Harden, Kip Knoll, Leo Ford and Angelo Garcia to name just the first to come to mind. Oh how I love the theater!

what an interesting thread. i have a tie between the mariott marquis and the schoenfeld theaters - i've seen 9 (!!) shows in each of those theaters. my runners up had only 5 shows that i had seen in those venues...some theaters have shows open and close so quickly in them, that it's easy to up the number of times you're there for different shows, and the marquis and schoenfeld both seem to have that problem.

Posted: 4/4/11 at 4:44pm

Tie between the St. James, Broadway, and Palace for me at 2 shows each.

[brackett111]

Posted: 4/4/11 at 5:18pm

FOXWOODS: Ragtime, Jesus Christ Superstar revival, Young Frankenstein, Spider Man Turn Off the Dark.

Posted: 4/4/11 at 5:29pm

I think the Barrymore; definitely in terms of times visited, and I'm almost certain in number of shows, as well, but now I'm curious so I'm inspired to go check.

Edit: It's actually the Hirschfeld/Beck and the Schoenfeld/Plymouth, both with 9 each. But it's still definitely the Barrymore for most individual performances.
