Show Count - 119
This show count was lovingly ripped off of my best friend brothermarc7theatre’s idea to count the number of shows he has seen. If you have seen his new blog, you’ll notice that he goes by a much stricter guideline than I do. I count dress rehearsals and previews and I start my count from 2004. His goal is 1,000. My goal….well, we’ll see how many I can do.
Key:
* indicates show was a preview performance or dress rehearsal
+ indicates show was a National Touring Company or Special Event Production (i.e. Phantom in Las Vegas)
$ indicates show was a Broadway or West End Production (because of how expensive it is)
