Why should you feel guilty about getting to see it as many times as you'd like? I think it's great that you've had more than one opportunity to enjoy something you love so much. I would love to get to see it live myself - that isn't going to happen, but I certainly don't begrudge anyone else who is able to see it. I actually get a vicarious thrill from people who have been able to see the real thing and share the deets. As far as keeping a tally goes, I don't think the genuine love and enthusiasm you have for theatre and fandom could possibly be compared to the vibe of one-upmanship and "nyah, nyah, nyah" that a certain other person is sending out (whether she intends to or not). There was never even a thought in my mind that you should feel guilty or apologetic for getting to see the show as often as you like.

Moving on...I'm excited about seeing the roles reversed, too. I noticed in the screening the way their gestures and speech patterns sort of mirror each other at times. And I agree about the two of them on stage together. They went from brilliant to effing brilliant when it was just the two of them. That was evident even in the filmed version. I'd love to hear from you when you see the filmed version how you think it differed from the live experience.

Lastly, thank you for the love, and I enjoyed your long post so no need to hide. I know this is odd to say over the internet, but it's nice to meet you!
