Theatre nutter Sally Frith will tonight see Les MiseŽrables, for the 740th time. Sally, 41, will see today's matinee and evening performances in the West End to celebrate the 21st anniversary of its London debut.
The children's play worker said: "Someone recommended going to see Les MisŽrables 18 years ago. I got hooked and I've been going ever since. I've spent just under £30,000, including food, travel and hotels."I don't drink or smoke, I've got no vices apart from the theatre."
Sally, of Stanley, Glos, added: "I know about 90 per cent of the words now. I can usually tell if there's a mistake."
As well as in London, Sally has seen the show on tour in Edinburgh, Bristol, Birmingham, Stockholm and on Broadway.
Les MisŽerables, produced by Cameron Mackintosh and now at the Queen's Theatre, is based on Victor Hugo's novel about 19th century France.
With a run of more than 8,500 performances, it will overtake Cats tomorrow as the world's longest running musical.
