I think those are the only shows I've seen more than once.

Next to Normal ~ 14 times (so far)
The Vertical Hour ~ 10 times
The Year of Magical Thinking ~ 9 times
110 in the Shade 2007 revival ~ 7 times

edit: add in Gypsy ~ 7 1/2 times. (1 1/2 times at City Center. The 1/2 was because I got sick and had to leave at intermission because I was too dizzy from the height and angle of the rear gallery.) And yes, that surprises me. I had no clue until I looked back over my shows this year.

I have seen Beauty and the Beast atleast 15 to 20 times. I love that show so much. I have such an emotional attachment to that show, it makes me cry when i think about how it closed, it didn't deserve it atleast not yet.

If you mean the exact same production/same cast, then it is Seesaw, which I saw 5 times on Broadway with Michele Lee, Ken Howard and Tommy Tune. I saw it 2 more times with Luci Arnaz, John Gavin and Tommy Tune, in Philadelphia.

If were talking just any show, then it's probably, Fiddler on the Roof, My Fair Lady, How to Succeed..., Hello, Dolly! or Mame. I saw all of these in their original Broadway productions (My Fair Lady original London production), and countless times, since.
