Who here thinks they possible hold the record for....

1. Largest Playbill Collection: How many do you have?  When did you start your collection?

2. Largest Personal Theatre Memorabilia Collection: What did you collect? How large is your collection. 

3. Repeat Attenders: What is the most number of times you've seen a show? What was the production? Have you traveled across the country and/or globe to see it?

Thanks in advance for your contribution!

I don't think I have any big answers for your questions, but there are a handful of shows that I have bought tickets for at least 5 performances. Most often, many months or years pass between each viewing..

My highest number on Broadway is Grey Gardens at 8, but I know people whose Wicked viewings reach almost 100.

Holy smokes. After seeing it once my immediate reaction was that it would be the best choice out of everything I'd seen to go to a repeat performance of, but damn that's some commitment. That's scary impressive.

I was hoping this thread to be about James Barbour.

My highest is RENT with 72 Broadway (a few morer if you include off-broadway, regional productions etc.)

 

My highest current running show is Hamilton at 15.

Joel Torrence saw RENT on Broadway somewhere in the 1200s if I am not mistaken.

I saw both Fun Home and the Hedwig revival 11 times. Though I'm hoping Anastasia ends up surpassing that!

I don't even want to know how many playbills I have. The only thing I buy from shows are t-shirts, but I only have like 10.

The show I most saw was Wicked (24 times on the 10 month run the show had in Brazil) and Man of La Mancha (almost 30 times, but that's counting a revival of the same production that happened two years later)

I've lost count of the number of times I've seen Phantom (more than 50), in New York, London, and on tour.
