I've seen RENT 3 times on tour, in 3 different cities.
As far as non-broadway/national tours go, I've seen many productions at Actors Theatre of Louisville multiple times. Most notably their annual production of Dracula which I've seen - I think - 6 or 7 times.

Thoroughly Modern Millie: 7 times on Broadway, six with Sutton, including her final performance, once with Susan Egan (final performance). Also national tours (Baltimore, Newark) last summer (Beach Haven, NJ, New Hope, PA) and West Milford (NJ) High School. Let's see, that make 12, so far...
Hair in central park- 7 so far, and I plan to see it more. ----------------------------------------- Rent-3 Les Mis- 3 original, 1 revival In the Heights- 3 if you count off-broadway Spelling Bee- 2
Sweeney Todd 3 times. I wish I could have attended the closing night and made it four.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.
The original production of HELLO, DOLLY! (starring Carol Channing, followed by Ginger Rogers, Martha Raye, Betty Grable, Pearl Bailey, Phyllis Diller and Ethel Merman) 74 times. I also saw Bibi Osterwald go on for Bailey once.
I've also seen subsequent revivals and touring companies many times.
