My little list is pretty pathetic compared with the rest of you. I have just seen

Both were at Bradford Alhambra in West Yorkshire. I must admit that not many musicals get to be in our neck of the woods otherwise I would love to go and see some more, I am hoping to go and see Riverdance next year but not sure as I will be going to Rhyl to see Peter Karrie and think that the dates will coincide.

Best wishes for now,

Catherine

That is so true and three with the same actor who I really like I saw three times in the space of a fortnight. Couldn't help it. I really miss that show I must admit and am usually found to be humming or at least thinking about it most hours of the day talk about being obsessed, can't pry myself away. Would love to see it again as there are so many things about the storyline and show that I've forgotten.

Best wishes
Catherine.

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers 2
42nd Street

I've never seen a show twice, but Phantom and Wicked are both coming back to my area next year, so...

Professional productions:

Phantom (Broadway once, 3NT twice)
Sound of Music (national tour with Richard Chamberlain several years ago)
Cats (one of the national tours around '97 or so)
Les Mis (national tour twice)

Then I've seen various school and college productions of Les Mis (school edition replica of the Broadway production twice), Sweeney Todd (two college productions), JCS (ditto), Evita, Pirates of Penzeance, Working, Crazy for You, Joseph, Oklahoma, Sound of Music, The Wiz, Wizard of Oz, Footloose, and Cinderella. I think that's it.

Man, I've only seen him twice.

I haven't seen that many musicals yet (but, seeing that I live in London now, I hope that's going to change).

Professional productions:
POTO (London, six times)

Les Misérables (London, twice)
Sunset Boulevard (London, once)
A show called "Musical Starlights", in which musical singers performed all kinds of musical songs - the show itself wasn't exactly great, but it was my first show that had anything to do with musicals. Plus, I saw Jana Werner and Dean Welterlen.

Amateur productions:
Anatevka - German version of Fiddler on the Roof (twice - two different productions)
Linie 1 (okay, I didn't see it as much as performed in it, but still)
Yanomamo (ditto - my first musical, back in seventh grade. Oh, the memories!)

And countless other community theater/college/high school shows.

OT, but I've been in Evita, Les Miserables, West Side Story, Jekyll and Hyde (orchestra pit), Into the Woods and Rocky Horror (stage manager). I've also performed in/ worked on several plays, but those are the only musicals I've done. I need to do more.

Right now, I want to see Phantom again (it's been 1 year! I don't feel right! LOL) and the new production of Ragtime.

My list is much, much shorter than most of all of yours! Other than Phantom of the Opera I'm just not into the musical theater aspect of things. I have, however, seen a few shows, usually when they came to my home town. Okay, here goes. Just don't cringe when you see how short my list is.

ALW's Phantom -- 8 times
Twice in Toronto
Once in Detroit
The other times when the touring company came to town

Ken Hill's Phantom -- 2 times (touring company)

Non Phantom Shows:

Fiddler on the Roof (touring company with Topol)
Cats -- 2 times (once in Toronto, once with the touring company)
Les Miserables (touring company)

I'm sure there were a few more over the years, but I'm experiencing a senior moment and can't recall the names!

But see what I mean? I told you it was a SHORT list!

I have, however, seen a number of operas (Gounod's Faust tops the list with three performances), pops concerts and symphonic concerts.

Elisabeth: About 200 times (Yes, I am very insane)
POTO: 3 times
Tanz der Vampire: 4 times
Grease: 2 Times
The Wild Party: 1 Time
Mozart!: 4 times
Beauty and the Beast: 6 times
Rebecca: 9 times
Rudolf: Affaire Mayerling: 1 time
Rocky Horror Picture Show: 1 time
Jekyll & Hyde: 3 times

That's about all I can recall atm.
