The Other Guys/Jersey Boys - What movies have clips from musicals?

I saw the Other Guys tonight, and there was a scene where Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg's characters see Jersey Boys. They only showed a 10-second clip, but naturally, I was amused. They were performing "Big Girls Don't Cry." I actually was going to ask which cast it was, but found out it was the Vegas cast:

I'm assuming this didn't come from a live performance of the show. What other movies feature clips from Broadway musicals? The only other one I can think of right now is Jersey Girl and Sweeney Todd.

This is an example from TV, not a movie, but there is that episode of Ugly Betty where they go see Wicked. I know Megan Hilty was Glinda then and I believe Eden Espinosa was Elphaba.

In MATCH POINT there is a scene where two characters go to see the short-lived WOMAN IN WHITE.

Jersey Girl (?) I believe that is the one where they go to Sweeney Todd

^ Close. Ben Afleck & the little girl act out 'God That's Good' complete with costumes.

^ They do act out God that's good, but they also see Sweeney Todd towards the beginning

There isn't a performance clip, but the marquee is shown and Chicago is referenced in The Devil Wears Prada.
