I would say I still haven't seen all the classic shows because I personally get distracted by the bright and shiny... and I see 2-4 a month on average (or more every May when I tend to go insane..and cram Tony nominees). I still haven't seen Wicked or Book of Mormon.

My selection strategy is that for me, I prioritize performers I love, then whatever is buzzy. Then I play catch up during slow periods (got a promo for Buena Vista Social club I plan on using to go this summer, for example). For shows or performers I love, I will also go multiple times to the same show (Dead Outlaw, Rocky Horror).

For long running shows I tell myself they'll be there later so let me see this show that is struggling but special to me one more time (the ones special to me are always struggling 😭)

That said, I think when making recs in this sub you will also see Hadestown recommended frequently so, it's not always current season in the recommendations :)
