I've seen it 12 times. Ridiculous, I know. It would take a dream combo for me see it again. Glinda: Katie Clarke or Megan Hilty. Elphaba: Not as picky, but never got to see Nicole Parker. Would also buy a ticket to see Sara Ramirez or Katie Shindle as Elphaba.
Saw the tour 2 times when it was in my city a few months ago. REALLY enjoyed Katie Clarke. A friend called at the last minute with a free ticket. I went because I wanted to see Katie again. Unfortunately, her understudy was on, and I found myself rather bored. So, I'm taking a break. Haven't listened to the OBC recording in months. I was even in San Francisco last week and didn't think of going!

7 times. I didn't get bored of the show (although I am now), I just got over it. I just noticed that there were better shows to watch instead.
When I saw the production in LA, there was this girl that had seen it 140+ times, she said " I stopped counting at 140." It was sad, she would go to stagedoor and just talk to them, no picture, no playbill. Reaaly pathetic, she actually though she had some sort of friendship with them.

Posted: 10/19/09 at 1:06pmFour times - three on tour and once on Broadway.
re: How many times have you seen Wicked#57
Posted: 10/19/09 at 1:15pmI've seen it twice, and both times it was the tour. Once in Cincinnati in March '06 and the other in Indianapolis in June '09.

Why would anyone want to see this show more than...maybe four times? While I do think the show is enjoyable, I also think the book is awful, the lyrics are just stupid, and I'll give credit to the music score...I like the orchestrations.
I'll admit that I've seen the show three times. Once on Broadway while it was still in previews. Once to see my friend, Stephanie, on the first national tour. And once to see my friend, Katie, on the tour last year. Two out of three of those times I was going to support a friend. Otherwise, I would have just stuck to seeing it only once.

Once, on Broadway, original cast.
It was enough.
A click for life.

Posted: 10/19/09 at 2:28pmOnce, and I enjoyed it very much, but I have no desire to see it again unless I had a comp seat.
re: How many times have you seen Wicked#64
Posted: 10/19/09 at 2:40pmTwelve total: Eleven on Broadway, once on tour.
re: How many times have you seen Wicked#65
Posted: 10/19/09 at 2:56pmTwice: once on Broadway (back in 2004) and once in London (last year)
re: How many times have you seen Wicked#66
Posted: 10/19/09 at 3:03pmTwice. The first time was on Broadway because it was 'the show to see' - I was distinctly underwhelmed. The second was when it opened in London and I thought maybe a different cast and freshly directly directed production would improve it. Apart from a much better orchestra it didn't and I still don't get all the fuss...

Posted: 10/19/09 at 3:08pmSomething like 7.5, I think, between May 2004 and July 2009. All Broadway except one in London, and never paid more than lotto price.
re: How many times have you seen Wicked#68

A lot of times in Chicago. A ridiculous amount.

Mmm..the girl in Australia that has seen it 40 times thinks the same things. She said, well the quote: "They know us" [referring to a group].
