I lost count. I've been seeing shows since I was a little kid (not Disney shows...regular shows. I saw my first Broadway show when I was 7 and it was Crazy for You.)So over the past 15 years I've been seeing shows on a regular basis. But I never kept a count so I have no idea. A lot.

...I am sure there are othes but I cannot think of them right now...
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

Somewhere around 85 right now, only counting shows in NYC (not touring companies)
There are multiples in there -- 37 for Les Mis and 9 for Seafarer
A few others I've seen 3-5 times
That's since 1997, when I saw the Les Mis 10th Anniversary Concert on PBS and realized I *loved* Broadway!
I haven't really seen any musicals lately (except Sondheim), for the last few years it's been all straight plays
I'm very lucky to only be a 3 hour train ride from NYC, so I can go as often as I can scrape together the money
