First show I thought of is ANYTHING GOES.
Each set is a stationary boat set, with two rooms which roll in from either side for the Whitney/Moonface glasses scene.
The biggest change I've seen is in the recent revival, they actually set 'Blow, Gabriel' in a nightclub.

I'm actually pretty sure you HAVE to reimagine Les Mis: a friend who worked one of first wave of regional productions said that it was actually contractual that they didn't use the turntable.

"I'm actually pretty sure you HAVE to reimagine Les Mis: a friend who worked one of first wave of regional productions said that it wasn't actually contractual that they didn't use the turntable."
I was just going to to say this myself. I was lucky enough to participate in two regional productions when the right first came out and apparently the designs had to be submitted for approval because MacIntosh didn't want people to simply re-create the original stuff. Turntables were okay as long as they "weren't used in the same way".
"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert
