I only saw CHITTY once, but by the end I felt like I'd sat through it 11 times.

Unfortunately, it's Les Mis. I lost count, but I think I ended up seeing it 8 times. That's more than 24 hours spent on Les Mis. A runner up would be the Broadway production of Closer, which I saw 4 times. Otherwise, the most I have ever seen a show is twice. Twice is usually good enough for me. Though I think I could see the current Sweeney Todd again and again and again...
I saw GYPSY 6 times and Avenue Q 5 times (the 5th being this Friday.

RENT - 15 (give or take, I kind of lost count) over the past 9 years
PHANTOM OF THE OPERA - Twice. Why is this show getting such a bad rep on this sight? I mean, true, the second time I saw it, it lost quite some steam it had when I first saw it, but still. Why?
"I only saw CHITTY once, but by the end I felt like I'd sat through it 11 times."
Yep, that's I felt about Chitty as well.
I would say "A Chorus Line" and "The Wiz" followed closely by "Dreamgirls", "Ain't Misbehavin'" (friend in the show) and "Rent".
42nd Street... twice...
as of now... but in a little while, I think I'll probably making trips to New York more often than that.
The Producers and The Phantom of the Opera. Both more than 10 times each over a number of years and in various cities across the US. I've lost count and would rather not remember exactly how many times it was.

Some people on this board love Phantom. Others, like myself, think that it's a big boring musical, typical of a much of the work of ALW, post "Evita". It all comes down to taste and personal opinion. Don't sweat it. If you like it that's cool. Differing opinions make for a more interesting world.
Ragtime - 12
Lennon - 9
RENT - 7, I think.

Original cast of SWEENEY TOOD with Lansbury and Cariou, which I saw 7 or 8 times. After their last performance, I quit going to it. I've seen RENT now around 6 times.
