Since the turn of the 21st century, Broadway theatres have been pretty steadily booked, with very little "dark" time, even during the Great Recession that started in 2008.

ANSWER:
Theatre with the most shows: The American Airlines Theatre (neé Selwyn), which is operated by Roundabout Theatre Company. It has hosted 35 shows since 2000, mainly owing to Roundabout's subscription series programming.
Theatre with the fewest shows: The Majestic Theatre. It has had only one show, the record-holding Phantom of the Opera, which has been the Majestic's only tenant since Jan. 26, 1988.
