I don't mean from "Forbidden Broadway," but from people on the street. The only one I know of is when Ethel Merman performed in the revival of Annie Get Your Gun, and many people refer to it now as "Granny Get Your Gun!"
"Ev'ry-buddy wants ta get into de act!"

"Breathe from your hoo-hoo."

The Color Purple is commonly referred to as Oprahoma...
The scaled down revival in the late 80's/early 90's of Sweeney Todd was known as Teeney Todd... and this one has been referred to as Teeney Tiny Todd...
Not sure how long this'll last. A couple months ago I posted about 50 broadway show porno titles. With an hour, about 100 people or so had added theirs. it was great fun...until Jose shut us down. Good luck though.
The current revival of Fiddler, I've always called "Fiddler on the Deck" or "Fiddler in the Forest"
Last year I saw a community theater production of MISS SAIGON, which angered some Asian Americans who think the show is racist and stereotypical. Anyway, they did their own version of the Fall of Saigon story and called it MISSED SIGH GONE, or something like that.
Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia
Marat/Todd is clever, up to a point. Like so many other things, I fake that I actually have had a cultural experience by getting the reference, but will readily admit that I have merely seen the movie. (At least this isn't a case of some important book that I embarassingly haven't read. *cough* Orlando *cough*)
Then there were the Beauxhommies....I mean the Beauxhommes, from Once on This Island. Yes, that was high school.
"WHEN is the winter of our discontent?"
"NOW is the winter of our discontent!"

"Grease," the fourth revival of the season, is the worst show in the history of theater and represents an unparalleled assault on Western civilization and its values. - Michael Reidel
I like all the Jewish humor broadway spoofs at the end of the producers like "A streetcar named Murry" and "Katz"
You must think I'm still sixteen.
I dropped out of high school for a reason.
And I don't care if you're pretty. I'm not admitting you are right.
My soul is not a stage.
I won't pretend I'm anything I'm not
