Come From Away. About which context are you asking?

Almost any musical or play can be staged with one set if directed properly.

Great point.
A director friend is submitting an application to direct at a local (and very small) 100 seat community theatre.

I saw "The Play That Went Wrong" and "Bandstand" last Saturday and they both had only one set.

current revival of Glass Menagerie also is as simple with one set as possible; as is Doll's House Part 2.
Arguably Sunset Bldv, too.

I think Daddy Long Legs had one set. I bring it up because it's an example of how much you can do with props and lighting. The audience will suspend their disbelief.

The Great Comet is done with one set, but I could see regional theaters doing it with multiple.
If you are looking for plays or musicals that take place in one location. This season off the top of my head (besides what was listed already) I can think of Jitney, Master Harold and the Boys, Marie & Rosetta, Hedwig (not this season but still fits).

for me, I kind of think Mamma Mia, Hamilton and Kinky Boots are one set, as not much changes, I've only seen Mamma Mia and Kinky Boots 'live' and they are both successful to me, and so is Hamilton from what I've seen.
