I haven't seen anything on Broadway since the one weekend I was in NY just happened to coincide with the musicians' strike. However, I have seen the following professional touring and London productions multiple times:
Les Miserables (London and tour): 24x
Spelling Bee (SF): 4x
Little Women: 4x
Big River (Deaf West): 3x
Evita (London): 3x
Urinetown: 2x
Lennon (SF): 3x
Lestat (SF): 2x (I couldn't help myself)
White Christmas (SF): 2x
Beauty and the Beast (tour and London tour): 2x
I feel like I am forgetting something, and I probably am.

I've seen 42ND STREET, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, and STOMP all twice, and will be going a second time to THE WEDDING SINGER in a couple weeks.
There are many shows I would love to see more than once (THE WEDDING SINGER, for example, I'd love to see like every couple weeks!) but I am not that fortunate living far off from the city.

Hmm...let's see:
Wicked - 18
RENT - 8
Les Mis - 6
Beauty and the Beast - 5
Phantom - 4
Ragtime - 4
Almost all of these were productions that ran in Toronto, though Wicked I saw 3 times in NYC and once in Detroit.
Wicked is definately my crazy one. By the end of this month, I will have seen it 22 times.

I just saw Drowsy for my 5th time yesterday. Since August, I've gone to see it once a month. I'm probably going to be seeing it next month as well, and definately in April for my birthday.
I've also seen Wicked 2 times (Broadway) and I am seeing it with my chorus in Chicago in April and also again in August for the tour in Philly.
I've seen Bee once in Philly and Rent once on Broadway, too.
These numbers are all since May 19th of this year.

I really hate it when people keep going back to see the same shows over and over. I strongly feel that you should see a show once and enjoy it. Then you should forget it.
The rest is insanity.

Going to see All Shook Up on Tour so that will be my second time seeing the show. I'm also going to see FB for the second time in a couple of weeks.

The Wedding Singer - 8
Lennon - 3
The Light in the Piazza - 2
Rent - 2
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
Hehe, I've heard worse than that at the WS stagedoor.

Dollypop, you make a good point, and I agree, to an extent.
It's actually taken me 11 years to see POTO 7 times.
What I do is see different shows every season AND old ones, so it ends up adding up for me.
But some people enjoy seeing the same show over and over and over and seeing different performances, etc...and I enjoy that too, with POTO...but not every month.

I don't think there's anything wrong with seeing a show more than once. To me, it's the equivalent of seeing your favorite band in concert or a movie or a favorite restaurant. If the experience was enjoyable, then why not go again?
Spelling Bee _ 17 (16 in Boston, once in NY)
The Producers - 9
Sweeney Todd revival - 6
La Cage revival - 5
As for money, being a student helps tremendously. The most I have ever paid for a ticket was $60. And that's on the high end for me. Usually, I pay around $25. Plus, being in Boston means a lot of regional theatre, where student tickets are as low as $10.

This is why I love lotteries and student rush tickets.

Spelling Bee: 11 (12?)
Rent: 7
Big River (Deaf West revival): 5
Miss Saigon: 3
Lestat: 3 (oh god)
All tours or pre-Broadway. Well, if Spelling Bee counts as a tour since it was SF.
