Why can I only think of two? A CHORUS LINE and GRAND HOTEL. Has my brain finally gone dead?

1776 and Follies were both performed without intermission, although Follies tried several different spots in New York previews. And both shows are usually performed with intermissions these days.

Also, Once on this Island, though it was a mere 90 minutes.

Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

My freshman year in college I took a musical theater course - the ONLY question I missed on the midterm was "What do Assassins, A Chorus Line, and Man of LaMancha have in common?" The answer -- no intermission.

I saw "Once on This Island" and it had an intermission, though it was a regional production. It ended Act1 with the song about "mamma knows" (or something like that) and then Act2 started with a reprise of that song.

I find it weird that some people actually put in the intermission, but it does get them money on consessions.

To be honest, I think Once On This Island works much better with an intermission...

Pippin originally, but one was written in at some point. I know I've seen it performed both with and without an intermission (and once the version written without an intermission with an intermission just kind of stuck in randomly.)

Yeah I was going to say I saw a production of Pippin with no intermission, too. Also Tick Tick Boom.

It was 6 hours, I don't even like to have sex and eat bacon for 6 hours.

"Hairspray Vegas Version
Phantom Vegas Version"

As long as we're saying that, I'll go with Avenue Q Limited Vegas Version, unfortunately with one of the worst act transitions. (if you thought Hairspray was bad, this one actually needed to put a card displaying "Three Weeks Later" on the video screens. How more obvious can you get?!)...

You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl

"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

Rocky Horror (i can;t remember but i don't think it has an intermission, but I've only seen it once and it was almost 3 years ago.)

when ducks grow thumbs then maybe my opinion will change.
