My Billy Elliot count is at 33 (1 in London, 32 on Broadway, but I know of at least one person who has me beat, lol.)
Second runner up is The Little Mermaid at 5 (that one is NOT on purpose, people just kept asking me to go with them....)
I think I'm at 4 for Rent, Wicked and Les Miserables between LA and NYC....
3x each for Scarlet Pimpernel, Spelling Bee, and Phantom

Saw rehearsals and every single preview of Drowsy Chaperone in LA and then some, but I was working on the show.

Including the MTV telecasts and the out of town tryout, I've seen Legally Blonde 6 times. Including the three performances of Hair I teched at the Skyline Theatre Company and the two times I'm seeing it on Broadway, by the end of the year I will have seen Hair 6 times. With the five productions of Man of La Mancha I've seen, I've seen that show 5 times andi ncluding one community theatre production, I've seen Beauty & the Beast 5 times. I also will have seen The Drowsy Chaperone, Wicked, The Phantom of the Opera, Mary Poppins, The Will Rogers Follies (at the Surflight Theatre of Beach Haven), They're Playing Our Song (at the Skyline Theatre Company of Bergen County, New Jersey), and High School Musical (Not by chocie for the later) 4 times. Next year will also mark myself seeing Mary Poppins a fifth, and possibly sixth, time on Broadway. By the end of the year I will have seen The Producers (1 Community, 2 Broadway), Young Frankenstein, The Little Mermaid, 9 to 5, Shrek, 1776(2 Community, 1 Regional), A Christmas Carol (1 Regional, 2 Madison Square Garden), Into the Woods (2 Broadway, 1 Community), Monty Python's Spamalot, and Gypsy (2 Bernadette, 1 Patti) 3 times.

I think I'm at something like 7.5 for Wicked (all Broadway except one London, spread out over five years). I've only paid for it 5 times though, and only lottery prices.

Rent - 5 (2 tours, 3 Broadway)
Next to Normal - 4 (3 at Second Stage, 1 on Broadway)
Twelfth Night - 4 (in the park)
Saved - 4

Wow, that's a really questionable representation of my taste in theatre - I swear I've seen more shows, many of them two or three times! If we count non-Broadway and non-tour productions, I don't even want to think about how many times I've seen Les Miz, Ragtime, and Secret Garden.

None of us are really in the big leagues yet though - I know there's an individual who has seen Wicked on Broadway over 150 times. I can't even imagine.

I'm pretty sure it was just

Rent - 3
LB - 3

and then a bunch of shows at 2 outings...

I try to keep it limited so I can see as many different shows as I can.

[WestVillage]

Posted: 7/21/09 at 12:52pm

Spring Awakening-3 times
Rent, Les Miserables, LuPone Gypsy, Legally Blonde, The Lion King-2 times
And I just bought tickets to see Next to Normal again.

Like others have mentioned, I usually avoid seeing shows too many times (unless its a show I'm REALLY into) so that I can see as many different shows as possible.

Wasn't there someone who saw SPRING AWAKENING more than 300 times on Broadway? I remember some kind of story about her, like she collected all her tickets in a bag or something?
