Mark Dooley, the Australian film and TV producer behind ''Repeat Attenders,'' has been working on this project for years.
In a 2016 interview, Dooley said he loves theater and is fascinating by fans who would see the same shows over and over.
Asked if romance had ever blossomed between superfans, Dooley said: ''I recall a Canadian couple who met at the Stage Door of 'Phantom' in Toronto. They got married as Christine and Raoul at a 'Phantom'-themed wedding. Another fan changed her name to Christine Daae and married her Raoul!''
And is Dooley a superfan, too? He says: ''I’m a big fan of 'Wicked,' 'Les Miserables' and 'Into the Woods.' I’ve seen 'Wicked' 12 times, so I know there’s a Superfan lurking in me…but one of the characters in the Documentary has seen 'Rent' 1,169 times, so I guess I still have a long way to go!'' |
