I was figuring this out a few weeks ago:
the most interesting one is: EDWARD HIBBERT- Noises Off, The Drowsy Chaperone (3x), Curtains (2x)
SUTTON FOSTER- Throughly Modern Millie, The Drowsy Chaperone (3x), Young Frankenstein (2x), Shrek
NORBERT LEO BUTZ - Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (many, many times), Is He Dead? (2x), Speed-the-Plow
JAMES BARBOUR - Jane Eyre, Tale of Two Cities (2x)
NICK WYMAN - Les Mis (3x), Tale of Two Cities (2x)
DAVID HYDE PIERCE - Curtains (2x), Accent on Youth
CHRISTIAN BORLE - Monty Python's Spamalot, Legally Blonde
CHRIS SIEBER - Spamalot, Shrek
that's all i can think of right now.
<--- the set of A Midsummer Night's Dream that I was assistant stage manager for during the 2007 season at the STNJ outdoor stage.
-Dre- You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree.

There's a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams. Sometimes we're not too certain what's false and what's real. But we're seldom in doubt about what we feel.

Hugh Panaro - Les Miz (Marius), Phantom, Lestat, Company, Les Miz (Valjean)
Tim Martin Gleason - Saw him as Raoul in Phantom more times that I want to bother counting
Tommar Wilson - Lestat, Hairspray, Hair
I know that if I pull my stack of Playbills from the spare bedroom and look through them, I'll probably find many, many people I've seen in multiple roles over the years, especially in ensembles and supporting roles.

Posted: 6/29/10 at 9:45amSlightly surprised as she's not a particular favourite of mine (though I do like her), but for me it's British actress Nancy Carroll. I've seen her on stage in The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Voysey Inheritance, See How They Run, The Man of Mode, Waste, Arcadia, Twelfth Night and After the Dance. I also have a programme from productions of Henry IV 1 & 2 that she was in, but I have absolutely no memory of seeing them. Updated On: 6/29/10 at 09:45 AM

Howard McGillin: Drood, Anything Goes, She Loves Me, The Secret Garden, Sunday in the Park With George (1984).
A coincidence or crush?
Oddly enough, I never saw him in Phantom.
#40the actor you have seen the most in
Posted: 6/29/10 at 12:58pmI think Norbert Leo Butz wins for me...I've seen him in Wicked, Is He Dead?, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Speed-the-Plow, and Enron.
#41the actor you have seen the most in
Posted: 6/29/10 at 1:04pmRaul Esparza, though I refuse to try to count because I feel like a dumbass. I believe he wins both for the most different shows and performances period. :)

Lindsay Mendez - Grease, Marvelous Wonderettes, Everyday Rapture
Beth Leavel - Drowsy Chaperone, Young Frankenstein, Mamma Mia (I need to check my playbill when I get home to see if I saw her in 42nd Street)
Derek Keeling - Tale of Two Cities, All Shook Up, Grease, Connect/Disconnect, Life Could be a Dream
Janine Davita - Tale of Two Cities, Grease, Rainbow Around the Sun
I'm sure there are more. I need to check my playbills when I get home

Off the top of my head, I think Brian D'Arcy James, Raul Esparza, and Nathan Lane are tied with 5 each. I might be forgetting additional credits or someone else altogether.
Brian: Lieutenant of Inishmore, Apple Tree, Next to Normal (2st and Broadway), Shrek, Time Stands Still, Titanic
Raul: Company, The Homecoming, Speed-the-Plow, Twelfth Night, Anyone Can Whistle.
Nathan: Odd Couple, Butley, November, Waiting for Godot, Addams Family.
EDIT: Brian wins with 6... I forgot about Titanic.
Just kidding. Jan Maxwell has six. Follies, Lend Me a Tenor, The Royal Family, Wings, To Be Or Not To Be, Coram Boy.
