Gutenberg, the Musical

And am I missing it, or has no one mentioned that the final number of A Chorus Line is totally a show within the show?

If we are allowed to stray into opera, then there's Pagliacci, where the stage play gets too close to reality and the cuckolded clown murders his unfaithful wife.

Side Show has a few show-within-a-show numbers: Come Look at the Freaks, When I'm by Your Side, We Share Everything, Rare Songbirds on Display, and One Plus One Equals Three.
Not really a show, but "Happy Endings" within "New York, New York" is a brilliant number. So, it's Liza Minnelli playing Francine Evans playing Peggy Smith.
