* In the musical version of ''Merrily We Roll Along'', the protagonist is a musical theatre songwriter who in one scene says, "I saw ''[[My Fair Lady]]'' -- I sort of enjoyed it."
* The musical ''[[1776]]'' features an extended [[Take That]] against New York's government: the delegate from New York spends the entire musical having to "abstain--courteously," because, as he finally explains, the members of the legislature "speak very fast and very loud and nobody pays any attention to anybody else with the result that nothing ever gets done."

{{quote|'''Kate''': I loved ''[[Titanic]]''!
