I've seen almost everyone mentioned at least twice, but like Margo, my multiple times list is smaller and the first person to come to mind is Orfeh (Footloose, Fever, Fascinating Rhythm, Love, Janis, Me & Mrs. Jones) and that's not including the many times I saw her live in concert during her days in Or-N-More. Patti LuPone (Gypsy, Anything Goes, Noises Off, Evita). Matthew Broderick in all of Margo's list, except for Odd Couple and Sherie Rene Scott four times at least, (Tommy, Aida, LFY, Debbie Does Dallas).
As of Thursday: Barret Foa Q and 25th spelling bee.

Laura Benanti in Into the Woods and A Little Night Music.
She was phenomenal in Woods.
I thought she wasn't virginal enough for Anne, but good nonetheless.
Sarah Uriarte Berry in Cinderella, and Taboo. ( Not really proud of either.)
Egh in both.
Sutton Foster in TMM and Little Women
Superb in Millie.
Less than superb in Les Petits.
Danny Gurwin in Little Women and A Little Night Music.
fine in both.

Skingdom out.
