People, its not quantity that matters, it's quality!!!!!
but just in case:
Les Mis 5
Phantom 4
Hairspray 3
Sunset Boulevard 2 (an oldie)
Showboat 2 (also an oldie - and a long one at that!)

Also a hypothetical - do shows you've walked out of at intermission count as half?

Billy Elliot 55 times(39 in London,16 on Broadway) But I'm not CLOSE to the record for that...someone is close to 400 in London and on Broadway someone is closing on 40(that I know of). I'll admit the next question is WHY...I blame OCD...lol.

I've seen alot of shows twice but not many of them 3 or more times. Sure that will change when I move to London in September -

Blood Brothers - 7
Avenue Q - 4
We Will Rock You - 4
Joseph - 3
Wicked - 3
La Cage Aux Folles - 3
Spring Awakening - 3 (Once on Broadway, Once at the Lyric once at the Novello).

I think when Legally Blonde opens in London it will probablys wipe the floor of all of these.

Saturday night will be my 100th visit to Phantom. Les Mis I have 92, 90 at Miss Saigon and my 90 at Blood Brothers. I miss Les Mis every day. IMO Broadway is not complete without it.

As a side note I am only 32. I started early at 10 years old. From my first visit to Cats I was hooked. By the way counting 11 times on tour makes Cats 99 times.

I think it's Les Miserables - roughly five or so times, including tours and professional productions.

Three seems to be my limit, and there are probably a dozen or so shows I've seen three times. I think the only show I've seen four times is Altar Boyz, and that includes catching the tour in New Haven.

My 3x shows include: Rent, Drowsy, Scoundrels, Hairspray, A Chorus Line (OBC), Aida, Les Miserables, Chicago (revival), Lion King, and others.
