* The [[Sera Myu]] has one: Orleans No Sei senshi is a song sung by Inner Senshi (Sans Mars) and Hotaru duing a mock battle. The first verse is later sung in a much darker form, Orleans no Sei Senshi ~ Uranus - Neptune no Uragiri (Holy Soldier's of Orleans ~ Uranus and Neptune's Betryal) The song title alone should tell you what's happening at this time. {{spoiler|except it's all ploy to kill Galaxia. Like the similar scene in the anime it fails}} The song is reprised in an altered form by all the senshi as La Fatalité Sei Senshi which itself is a lighter reprise and (longer version of) Oitsumerarete. Confused yet?
* Near the start of the trip, the characters in ''[[Cannibal! The Musical]]'' sing "That's All I'm Asking For," listing the things they're looking for in life. Near the end of the movie, they sing it again, but as they're all half-starved, all they want is some food, and they barely have the energy to sing at all.
* In the beginning of ''[[Fiddler Onon the Roof]]'', the citizens of Anatevka sing about their traditions and customs, explaining how they base their entire lives around them, and love doing so, in the upbeat "Tradition". Later in the musical, when Tevye disowns his own daughter, the main line of "Tradition" is sung by the ensemble in a much darker and more dramatic tone, showing that tradition is tearing the family apart.
* In ''[[The Wedding Singer]]'' musical, this is done with the song "Someday". The original is about how Julia can't wait to be married and is hopelessly romantic. The reprise shows that, as her wedding to Glen approaches, she's beginning to have doubts if Glen is the right guy (because she's falling for Robbie). Also done with "If I Told You", where Robbie and Julia ask themselves what might happen if they share their true feelings (they can't hear each other, of course), and the reprise has them singing the same thing, except this time expressing their regret of not telling each other as Julia flies to Las Vegas to marry Glen.
* Inverted in ''[[Avenue Q]]'' with There's a Fine, Fine Line. It appears first as a sad song sung by Kate Monster lamenting her breakup with Princeton and how "there's a fine, fine line between love and a waste a time". It is reprised later as a more optimistic song {{spoiler|when he helps her fulfill her dream of building a school for monsters and they agree to take their relationship one day at a time.}}
