Is it just me or is this year light on the 90 minutes, no intermission shows? Can anyone name the ones there are?

What The Constitution Means To Me is a one act. And nominated this year for best play at the Tonys
And in recent seasons, fun home, Once on this Island and Come From Away and Band’s Visit.

This thread seems a little unnecessary given the availability of Google and IBDB. But sure. In addition to the ones already mentioned, we also had the following one-acts on Broadway this seasons:
Choir Boy
American Son
Lifespan of a Fact
The New One
Boys in the Band
Straight White Men
Also, given that the OP didn't actually specify that we were talking about Broadway - I'd guess that about 75-80% (if not more) of the Off-Broadway shows this season had no intermission.

Calling a full-length (90 minutes or more, but certainly 2 hours!) play a "one act" is an unfortunate perversion of the language, even if technically true.
If it's a stand-alone entertainment, then it is full length, but without an intermission.
What can we possibly gain by confusing CONSTITUTION or GARY with ZOO STORY?
The technically minded should consider that HAMLET was written in five acts, but it hasn't been performed with four intermissions in hundreds of years.
