Ok. After seeing Hairspray for the third time and the undeniable fact that I will be seeing it many, many more times. What show have you seen the most times.. Just want confirmation that my obsession is healthy. :)
7 times sunset boulevard in london 6 times les miserables in london But you have to count that I live 1500 km. away from london and 8000 km. away from NY!
And in Barcelona, I saw the catalonian version of "no way to treat a lady" 5 times
I've seen Producers 3 times (twice with Lane/Broderick, once with Alexander/Short); Gypsy twice (once with bernadette, the other with maureen moore); little shop twice; and movin' out twice.
Rent- 3 times (but I think I was dead for one of those times) Into the Woods- 2 times The Producers- 2 times Gypsy- 2 times Thoroughly Modern Millie- 2 times Wicked- 2 times (soon to be three)
Just found out yesterday I'm going to see Phantom for the 4th time... july 17th... yay!! i'm so freakin excited!! (anyone have an opinion about the current broadway cast? i wanna know what i've got ahead of me, even though i know i'll like it no matter what!!) outside of that, les miz twice... other shows once
"Noah, someday we'll talk again. But there's things we'll never say. That sorrow deep inside you. It inside me, too. And it never go away. You be okay. You'll learn how to lose things..."
Les Miserables, since I was kid ... about 40-something times on Broadway. That doesnt count the times I would second act and sit in the rear mezz after school on Wednesdays back in the days of high school.
The Full Monty, 13 times OBC.
Sunset Blvd, 11 times on Broadway. All the Normas.
"SUNY Binghamton, yes. I'm sure getting a degree from SUNY Binghamton is very useful. Normally to get a degree with that kind of credibility you'd have to study in Guatemala or Haiti."
"It's like I'm your lover or more like your ghost. I spend the day wondering what you do where you go"
"A log is like this big around, you're lucky your head didn't fall off, you best get yourself to a hospital....
I've seen "Thoroughly Modern Millie" 12 times on Broadway. I don't think another show comes close to that in terms of the number of times I've seen it... "1776" and "Side Show" are next and I only saw those 5 times each.
mcphan19, I'd have to say my favorite was Elaine Paige too. Her voice was just thrilling, and she was scary. The makings for a great Norma.
Also, after a show in March a week before closing, it was freezing outside. Rather than come out and sign in the cold, or dodge us at the stagedoor completely, Ms. Paige signed backstage for us who waited. Nice lady.

Rent takes the prize with 13 (since 96) Wicked is catching up...I've seen it 4 so far, going on Saturday, 7/18, 8/11, and 1/2/05
Idina: Somehow I got myself to the stage, came out at the end of the show, and I had some kind of closure.
Some guy: You looked great!
Idina: Thanks...I WAS SO HIGH!
