* Arguably, ''[[A Midsummer Night's Dream]]''. Particularly the scenes with the Mechanicals, who are performing a self parody of [[Romeo and Juliet]], it's possible those characters are parodies of some of the Lord Chamberlain's Men
* The Broadway version of ''[[Tanz der Vampire]]'', retitled ''Dance of the Vampires''. ''Tanz'' is a serious rock musical, albeit not without humor. ''Dance'' tried to make the show into a straight-up musical comedy, since the producer thought this would go over better with an American audience. Unfortunately, due to an incredibly dysfunctional creative process, many of the songs didn't fit in with the new approach, so the show wound up swinging between [[Camp]] and seriousness, leaving no one satisfied. To quote the [http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117919518?refCatId=33 Variety review]{{Dead link}}: "It's not an outright comedy [...] but as a serious musical -- well, it's pretty damn funny."
* The play ''[[Done to Death]]'' is an [[Affectionate Parody]] of the [[Mystery Fiction]] genre. However it combines drastically different styles and the first scene of Act 1 is extremely different from the rest of the show.
