I've seen "Annie" over 30 times, but that's including Broadway (6x for the current revival and 1 for the last revival), tours, regional, and community theatre productions.
I saw "Spelling Bee" 11x on Broadway and once at a school, "Godspell" 11x on Broadway, "Next to Normal" 7x on Broadway, and "Shrek" 6x on Broadway.
Other shows I've seen 2x or 3x each, but the ones I mentioned up top are the ones I've seen the most.

I’ve seen “My Fair Lady” in a Broadway revival (with Rex Harrison when he was much too old to play the part), in a City Center revival (with Fritz Weaver and Inga Swenson), at the Kennedy Center (the new production), and an abortive attempt at Arena Stage, where they had to shut the performance down because both Eliza and her cover were down with flu.
I’ve seen “Fiddler on the Roof” more times than “My Fair Lady,” but I’ve lost track of how many times. My latest two were at dinner theaters. Those hardly count, in my opinion, but I have to admit that one of the dinner theater Tevyes was terrific, even though, at 27, he was much too young for the role.
“Phantom” is my personal record: Once at the Kennedy Center (a national tour with John Cudia and Marni Raab), once in Baltimore (a national tour with Tim Martin Gleason and, I think, Trista Mouldovan), twice in Las Vegas (Anthony Crivello both times and, the first time, Sierra Boggess; the second, someone whom I can’t remember), four times on Broadway, including the 25th anniversary (Hugh Panaro each time, with, I think Trista Mouldovan, Samantha Hall, Sierra Boggess at the 25th, and someone else whom I can’t remember, maybe Trista Mouldovan again). As far as the Raouls go, I think I saw Tim Martin Gleason and Andrew Ragone in Las Vegas, Sean MacLachlin in Baltimore and once on Broadway, and Kyle Barisich several times on Broadway. (I’m not sure whom I saw at the Kennedy Center). BTW, I think both Sean MacLachlin and Kyle Barisich would make terrific Phantoms, and I’d love to see one of them get a shot in the new national tour.
You alone can make my song take flight.

OMG I totally forgot HAIRSPRAY! 1x Broadway, National Tour, Regional, and 2x High school. So 5 times!!
Saw EVITA, BRING IT ON, NEWSIES, and MORMON 3x on Broadway, and then WICKED once on Broadway and then both national tour companies at Kennedy Center and the Hippodrome. So 4 shows tied for most seen! Haha. When EVITA starts touring I'm sure it'll pull ahead.

Between the original London, NYC, Los Angeles and a tour, I think I saw Les Miserables 7 times -- maybe more, but definitely not less.
I saw August Osage County three times between NY and LA... and since I only sort of 'liked' it, I can't explain exactly why.

Wicked (4 productions), Next to Normal (5 productions), and Carousel (4 productions) are the only ones that I have seen in the double digits (10's for N2N and 20's for the other 2). A third (local) N2N production will be staged in my city this year, so that number will go up again soon.

"qolbinau You travelled to see next to normal in Australia and was it done by the MTC???"
As mentioned I live here and yes it was MTC.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

I saw 'The Boy From Oz' 9 times (I was young, I judge me too)
I've seen Avenue Q 6 times (in London and UK Tour) and The Producers and Wicked 5 times each (combination of seeing Broadway London and Tours, repeat viewings of these 3 weren't entirely intentional to that number!)
Rent I've seen 6 times (NY, Tour, London) and Angels in America (both parts) 4 times (those are intentional I'm writing my PhD on them)
Maybe I'm on nobody's side

No multiple viewings of the same production, but I've seen all 5 productions of GYPSY (Merman, Landsbury, Daly, Peters, and Lapone) as well as the movie and TV versions, I've also seen all 3 How To Succede (Morse, Broderick, Radcliff) and I own a copy of the movie of that one.

I ran spotlight for a high school production of Joseph, and so including dress rehearsals and performances, I saw that production at least 15 times. And then, I've seen countless other productions that friends were in (why does everybody do Joseph?) bringing the number beyond 20 times, probably. This was far from intentional--at best, I have toleration with mild irritation toward this show.
I've seen Evita four times, Ragtime twice, Rock of Ages twice, Spelling Bee twice, Drowsy Chaperone three times, Pippin twice, and A Christmas Carol twice. I try to see different things, so most of these were either because I had interest in a completely different production or I had a friend or family member in a production.
#47Which show have you seen the most number of times?
Posted: 5/29/13 at 12:36amThe only show I've seen more than once is Phantom of the Opera, three times. First time was with John Cudia as the Phantom, and the last two times I saw Hugh Panaro. Both were great :)

Les Mis - 39 times (NY, London, Touring Companies)
The Seafarer - 9 times
Jerusalem - 7 times
I think I've seen Phantom 5 or so, mostly cuz you take friends to NY and that's always what they want to see

I saw Hedwig hundreds of times and never got tired of it. Yes, I worked the theater, but still, I never got tired of it.
If I were paying to see a show, I really loved, I don't think I'd see it more than a few times.
