A tie between The Book of Mormon and Hamilton-I've seen each three times.
Having actually served a two year mission there are so many things BOM gets right. Made me laugh just as hard every time. I love that show. Rannells was perfection.
Groundhog Day - 3 SpongeBob - 3 Great Comet - 2 Head over Heels - 2
If I can count off-Broadway and regional productions The Waves - 4 Desperate Measures - 3 Arturo Ui - 2 ( but seeing it a third time in Dec and possibly 4) Chess (Kennedy center) - 2
My numbers are so low compared to everyone else's ;;
I've lost count at this point of exactly how many times I've seen Phantom of the Opera, but it's more than 50 times on Broadway (including both the 25th and 30th anniversary performances), three times in London at Her Majesty's Theatre, two nights at the Royal Albert Hall for the London 25th anniversary weekend, and six U.S. tour shows (including the current, dreadfully "reimagined" production).
I've also seen Dear Evan Hansen five times, the Sunset Boulevard revival five times, and Love Never Dies five times (three times in London and twice on the current U.S. tour).

I've been trying to limit myself to once per Phantom, but Ben Crawford's performance and Eryn LeCroy about to join as Christine (adored her in Sweeney) is making me want to break my rule."
Ben Crawford is simply the best I've ever seen. After he blew me away the first time, I immediately booked a return visit for about a month later and was gutted to arrive at the Majestic to find the dreaded "At this performance, the role of The Phantom will be played by..." sign.

I've seen Once eleven times - five on Broadway, three on tour, and three regional. Hamilton is second with eight, but nine and ten are in my ticket box.

I had no choice, though. My work shuttle in San Francisco dropped me off a block away from the theater 15 minutes before the lottery ended five days a week.
I've seen SpongeBob SquarePants twice. It's not a lot, but I usually prefer to try new shows. That being said, I'm dying to see the Phantom of the Opera again.
I'm not usually a repeat viewer... I think Les Mis over the years is my biggest repeat - probably 4-5 times since 1988? I always enjoy revisiting it after a while.
Otherwise, I tend not to see things multiple times. Though I've seen Once On This Island three times... I saw it the night before opening and then have been back twice with friends/my parents who were in from out of town. I would like to go again for their final performance, whenever that ends up being.
The only other time I tend to repeat is with a cast change... like, I saw Color Purple with Jennifer Hudson and then again with Heather Headley, and Waitress with both Jessie Mueller and Sara Bareilles.
Kind of blown away by some of these numbers! You guys are devoted!

I urge you to go while Ben Crawford is playing the lead (I believe his contract expires in October 2019). I never thought anyone would surpass Michael Crawford in this role for me, but Ben did. He could do this show without a mic and still rattle the chandelier with his voice.

Probably would be "Jersey Boys" - at least 1/2 a dozen in NYC, several times in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, twice in San Francisco, San Diego, London and quite a few times in Chicago.
"Follies" - 9 times.........Washington DC, 4 times in NYC and 4 times in LA.
I've seen the Hello, Dolly! revival 5 times, three times with Bette and once each with Donna and Bernadette. I've seen the Once On This Island revival 4 times (side note...does Quentin Darrington do 1 show a week? He's ALWAYS out), and I've seen Phantom and Sister Act 3 times.
