Cinema sins is one of my favorite YouTube channels and my favorite bit he does is saying "roll credits" when the title of the film is said. I was wondering how many shows on Broadway, currently, have the title of their show said in the show and when each one had their "roll credits" moment earliest. I guess to make it more theatre related it can be "curtain" moment.

Not sure I really understand what you're asking, but I think it's a tie between Dear Evan Hansen and Groundhog Day.  I believe both have their leading character say the name of the show within the first minute of dialogue.

"Cats" is said early and extremely often.

I think it was Penn Jillette who says he applauds politely when they work the title of the movie into the dialogue, so now I find myself doing that sometimes.

"Miss Saigon" is said pretty early. Same with "Sunday in the Park With George" (I'm stretching to call that currently on Broadway.) 

"Come From Away" is said within the first couple of lines. "Anastasia" most likely is, too. (Don't remember the exact dialogue, though I know they say her name in that first scene.)

I'm pretty sure they say "The Phantom of the Opera" once or twice in POTO.

"Wicked" is uttered maybe 40,000 times in Wicked, and it's mentioned in the fourth line of the show ("The wickedest witch there ever was".
