How many times have you seen one show? And which show?
"Evita" with Patti in L.A. at the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion. I saw it twelve times. Back then you could get a great orchestra seat for $3.50 with a student I.D.
Wicked: 20 times so far
Rent- 14 (15 Closing Night)
In The Heights- 6
Drowsy Chaperone- 3
Gypsy- 2

Disney's On The Record: 7
Spring Awakening and Avenue Q: 6
Most I ever saw a show was 6 times for Superman
That was when the cost of a ticket was not the GNP of a small country.
Saw J/H, Les Miz & Boy From Oz twice. Other than that we see it one time & that is it
RENT - 8 (will be 9 on September 7th)
XANADU - 4 (hopefully for a fifth time in the next couple weeks)
THE PRODUCERS - 4 (not intentionally)
SPAMALOT - 3
COMPANY - 3
SPELLING BEE - 3
I've seen a lot of shows twice.
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.
I've seen local productions 10+ times, but I don't think that counts considering I work at the theatre.
Other then that, Wicked x 3.
I don't get to NYC as often as most, so as much as I'd love to see some shows multiple times it's a little difficult.
A CHORUS LINE - 6 (five on tour in L.A., once in San Francisco pre-Broadway)
LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS - 4 (tour in L.A., San Diego, Costa Mesa, Palm Springs)
THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE - 2 (original cast in L.A.)
RENT - 2 (tour in Las Vegas and L.A., soon to be three when Rapp and Pascal tour again)

not so surprising. I've seen Wicked about 27 times.
But other than my obsession with Wicked, the most I've seen any other show was 4 times and that was The Drowsy Chaperone.

Mr. Roxy, I think it is neat that the show you have the most is Superman. We don't hear much about that show.
Anyway, for me it is Rent, 8 times.
