Les Miserables - exactly a week before it closed. Spelling Bee - the day before it closed. Legally Blonde - birthday present from my mom. [title of show] x 3, including the final performace.
I also saw a three-hour performance of a wide array of Broadway songs performed by the Disney cast member choir and orchestra at Epcot over the summer...it kind of made up for me being so far from NYC.
I would've seen more, but I moved to Orlando over the summer. My first show of 2009 will be Shrek on January 7th. Updated On: 12/28/08 at 11:58 AM
