Total of 33 out of 40.
A Chorus Line revival played its final Broadway performance on August 17, 2008. The tour played its final performance on August 21, 2011. A new non-equity tour started in October 2012 played its final performance on March 23, 2013. Another non-equity tour launched on January 20, 2018. The tour ended its US run in Kansas City and then toured throughout Japan August & September 2018.
I've been in all of them multiple times as well, which for being only 26 years old is pretty damn good I think. I suppose if you plan on seeing everything that's open in a given season, you kinda hit all the theatres by default. The only theatre I've been to no more than once is the Majestic (one time of sitting through Phantom is enough, thank you). I've also only seen one show in the Minskoff (Peter Pan in 1991 if you can believe it), but I've been to the Easter Bonnett there several times since.
All of them! Multiple visits for all, except for the Minskoff, the New Amsterdam, and the Winter Garden.
"In theater, the process of it is the experience. Everyone goes through the process, and everyone has the experience together. It doesn't last - only in people's memories and in their hearts. That's the beauty and sadness of it. But that's life - beauty and the sadness. And that is why theater is life." - Sherie Rene Scott
Never counted them and it would be difficult. But I can't remember a time when I've been at a show, checked out "At this Theater" in the playbill, and found I haven't been there before.
I hate to be the lazy person who asks this, but can someone provide a list of the forty theater names to work off of? I have been going to the theater for so long that I think it unlikely that I haven't been to every theater by now.

All of them, including the Mark Hellinger (Grind), and some that are now gone (the Latin Quarter, the Criterion Center), and some of those oldies that were movie houses for a while, before being demolished (the Embassy 49th Street, the Lyric, the Embassy Five, etc.).
I'm confident that I've never been to the Majestic, Minskoff, or Winter Garden. I'm not sure if I've been to American Airlines, I think I have but not sure.
36-37/40!
edit: forgot about August Wilson, make it 35 or 36/40! Still not too shabby for a tourist!
"I've never encountered such religiously, you know, loyal fans as Broadway musical theater fans. It's amazing."
