I'm gonna say only like 5? I usually try to branch out and see as many different shows as I can, rather than seeing the same ones over and over, for example I have a friend who has seen Gypsy 35 times on Broadway, but at the same time I've seen every show that has opened over the last 6 years, and he's seen only a few. Both ways are fine though, it depends on what you lovee, I usually see each show I like two times at least though. :)

Passing Strange: 9 times on Broadway (wish I had known about it when it was at the Public), plus the CD release party at Joe's Pub--one of the funnest nights ever!

wasn't there a guy who saw CATS on broadway every sunday for the entire run of the production?
and wasn't there also a guy that saw RENT every week or tried to see it every week?
i can't remember where i heard these stories... i think the news or something when the shows closed...

When I saw RENT in early 2007, there was a woman there who said she had seen it over 200 times on Broadway. When I saw the show again, seven months later, she was there. I don't even want to think about how many times she must have seen it in its final months.

I am just at 5 for Wicked but am proud to say thats broadway, tour, and london!
#87
Posted: 7/21/09 at 3:05pm
I'm up to 7 for Wicked - 1 on Broadway, 4 in Chicago, and 2 in Detroit. Not always by choice, but because I'd always have a friend who wanted to see it for the first time, and they'd ask me to go with them. Can't say no!
Other than that, I just have a list of 2x shows
Hairspray
Avenue Q
August: Osage County
Mary Poppins
Lion King
I'd rather see a new show than see something multiple times

i must say... besides Miss Saigon... Les Miserables, Little Shop of Horrors and Into the Woods are the only shows that I'm willing to go see any production.. i don't care if it's regional show or a high school production... i think i've seen les mis about 7 or 8 times, Little Shop i've seen about 5 or 6 and Into the Woods 5 or 6... and if a production is ever playing nearby... i'll go... just because i love these shows

Oh man, well I'm in Toronto so my numbers are skewed by the fact that there is way less choice.
Rent - 35 times, plus I've probably seen the second half only an additional 15 or so times.
Ragtime - 10
Sunset Boulevard - 10
I saw Napoleon a bunch of times too - did that ever open in NYC?

I actually lost count, though I have what I think is a pretty good estimate. It was Rent, over the course of six years, and roughly twenty-seven.

Um...2. For Rent. And only because I wanted to see Adam and Anthony live in it. But once it started, the memories flooded back and I was very bored for the rest of the night. Not because I didn't enjoy it, but because it was so over-directed at that point I recalled every little step they took. It was frustrating, so now I usually limit how many times I see a show.
But do other productions count? Because I've seen Hair almost 3 times, but each production was just a tiny bit different from the last. I just can't imagine sitting through the same show so many times, no matter how much you love it.

I've seen The Phantom of the Opera seven times...soon to be eight.

WOW! That costs a lot of $$$ - I can't imagine how one affords to see that show so many times.
