For Example, Promises Promises and Priscilla will both have "I say A little prayer", and recently A Little Night Music and Sondheim on Sondheim had "Send in the Clowns"
any other examples ring a bell?

Nowadays, Hot Honey Rag, and Razzle Dazzle were in Fosse and Chicago at the same time, and Mein Herr was in Fosse and Cabaret. Sing Sing Sing was in Fosse and Swing! at the same time.
ETA Sing Sing Sing was also in Contact which overlapped with both Fosse and Swing!. This is the only example I can think of in which the same song was in three different shows on Broadway at the same time.

I believe "Every Day a Little Death" was also in ALNM and Sondheim on Sondheim.
For like two weeks of previews, then it was cut.
Portions of "A Weekend in the Country" were heard in SoS.

"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000
