Forbidden Broadway is the funniest show ever created. It changes every few months or so and it is my addiction. If you ever want to laugh your ass off, Forbidden Broadway is for you. It is the best night of theater on or off broadway.
PS Gerard just won a special Tony and he has won several Drama Desk awards. The man is a genius!

there was a reason I brought this one up: when I was at stagedoor for THE WEDDING SINGER there were people who were telling the cast that they have seen the show like 15 times. Puts my number to shame 
I thought five was alot considering I live in Pennsylvania and traveling to the city takes about 3 1/2 hours. And 34 times for THE WEDDING SINGER, all I can say is I salute you. Thats TWS love right there.

RentHead2, you go to the Hershey Theatre to catch tours, too? I love going to see shows there! Well, I also graduated from there, so I guess it holds sentimental value too.
For me:
Les Miz twice (Hershey and West End)
The Wedding Singer twice

Not Broadway, but national tours.
I've seen LES MIZ 19 times, which is nothing.
I saw CHICAGO three times during its two week run in San Francisco this fall. It's become a favorite.
I saw SPELLING BEE and PIAZZA twice in San Francisco.
I’ve seen other stuff more than once—just not the professional versions.

Posted: 12/11/06 at 12:03pmIt's funny- I don't think that list in indicative of my favorites though. It's more indicative of what visiting friends and relatives wanted to see, what I snagged free tickets to, what seemed like a fascinating flop that I needed to study because it wouldn't be around for a long time...

Posted: 12/11/06 at 12:04pmI saw the Gypsy revival twice but I lived in LA when it was on Bway. If I had been closer I would have seen it a lot more.

Posted: 12/11/06 at 12:10pmyes I go to the Hershey Theatre, I am about 30 minutes away from there in good old York, PA. I saw this fantastic traveling production of Throughly Modern Millie there a couple years back and all I can say is wow! I am trying to get my hands on Moving Out, which I believe is still playing there. The Hershey Theatre really is gorgeous :), better than some of the theatres I have been too in the city.

Oh my god yeah, I love the Hershey Theatre. I've only seen Les Miz and this Cirque du Soleil-type thing called Cirque Eloize there, though. Of course, graduating there was beautiful.
And just my luck, as soon as I left for college my parents started getting season passes there, so they're seeing all the great shows and I'm missing out! They saw Pippin this week, but unfortunately didn't like it very much.

My highest number (and growing) is higher than any that have been mentioned so far. Oy.
There are many shows that I have seen well into double digits, including Spelling Bee, Wicked, All Shook Up, Rent, Wedding Singer, Tarzan, Les Miz, and I know there are more that I am forgetting.

I saw "Nine - The Musical" 7 times because of Mary Stuart Masterson.
4 times with Banderas, 2 times with Stamos and 1 time with Stamos' standby Paul Schoeffler (who was also Banderas' standby). It was interesting to see her with all three actors as her husband. But Antonio was absolutely the best of them.
