I'm sure it's been mentioned, but my eyes were crossing as I began to scroll through all 9 pages of this.

"The Last Midnight" from INTO THE WOODS and "Could I Leave You?" from FOLLIES have always perplexed me.

The introduction of 'I Want To Be Seen With You Tonight' from Funny Girl is incredibly similar to the introduction of 'You'll Never Get Away From Me' from Gypsy (Same rhythm/melody, only different harmony/instrumentation)

Whenever I think of Jerry Herman's "Mame" my mind always transitions it straight into Sondheim and Styne's "Mr. Goldstone." I have to wonder if "Gypsy" wasn't on Herman's mind around the time of writing "Mame." :)

The Intel jingle and the first four notes of the Gypsy overture. I can't be the only one to have noticed this.

I remember being at a preview performance of RAGS and hearing the little old ladies sitting in front of me remark how much "Brand New World" sounded like "Join the Circus" from BARNUM.
