Hi, everyone! I am a senior in university, and wanted to come here to ask for suggestions with regard to my senior project (I am a musical theatre director). Does anyone have thoughts on short (no longer than 90 minutes) musicals or plays that might be great that I have not heard of? Please help, thank you for sharing your brilliant minds in advance!
Your text says 'or plays', but your title stated musicals - so here's a possibly play for you
Midsummer's/Jersey - an updated take on Midsummer Night's Dream meets the Jersey Shore. Really fun, really adorbs.

The Band's Visit may have advertised a 90 minute run time, but I was at that theatre for many a performance and it clocked in much closer to 100 minutes. Though of course it's kind of a moot point, since I doubt that the rights would be available in time for this senior project that prompted this thread.
And suggesting shows that aren't licensed yet isn't very helpful!

Murder for Two. A 90 minute murder mystery show written for two piano-playing actors, where one plays the inspector and the other plays all 13 suspects.
"Please attend my university's production of 'Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me,' starring Jay Schwartz as Martin Short and Demitrius Williams as Marc Shaiman. You may remember Williams from his portrayal of the title role in last semester's production of 'Elaine Stritch at Liberty.'"
