I assume you are asking about musicals - thre have been dozens of straight plays with nudity.
The ill-fated THOU SHALT NOT had nudity, including a scene where the leading man fondled a nude corpse (played by a live actress) in the morgue.
PASSION had male and female nudity in the opening scene.
PRIVATES ON PARADE presented Off-Broadway had male and female nudity in the Roundabout production in 1992.
The revival of DAMN YANKEES had a male butt shot.
Idina Menzel delighted us with a moon shot in RENT. Somenights, if she was in the mood, she flashed her boobs as well.
The current DERACULA features a good amount of nudity.
The title song of APPLAUSE featured a line of waiters flashing bare butt.

The Blue Room, of course. 
And, from Sondheim.com:
"Based on the novel Fosca by Igino Tarchetti and the film Passion D'amore by Ettore Scola, this musical (with a book by James Lapine) explores love and obsession through the story of Giorgio, an officer in the Italian Army (in 1863) who carries on an affair through the mail with Clara, a married woman. When Fosca, the sickly, wretched sister of the colonel becomes obsessed with Giorgio, her passion begins to eat at his soul until he gives in to her overpowering love. The show explores the interconnectedness of love, beauty, passion, and obsession. Includes the songs 'I Wish I Could Forget You,' 'No One Has Ever Loved Me,' and 'Loving You.' "
I believe Sunday in the Park With George was originally supposed to have nudity during the title song, but Bernadette Peters refused to do it. I think Melissa Errico (?) performed with the nudity in the Kennedy Center production.

Why would there be a nude scene in "Sunday in the Park with George?" Like, for what reason and what part of the song would she be nude in?

The "SITPWG" nudity was going to be written in later in the play. George finally lets the Celestes pose for him in his studio, but when he tells them that he wants them nude, they run off. Marie, out of love, agrees to do it. I don't know how far the scene was written, but Sondheim and Lapine shared that story at "Sunday's" concert at Ravinia in Highland Park, IL.

Actually, the Sunday in the Park With George nudity that I'm talking about came when Dot stepped out of her dress in the title song. I could be wrong, though.

What nudity is there in Caligula? Forgive me if this has been discussed before.

Jeez, I can't even believe there's a thread about this -- every fourth show I see in NY has nudity in it (three of the seven shows I've seen so far this month had nudity, including full frontals in Richard III on Friday). I've probably seen two hundred shows that had nudity in one form or another. It's so commonplace I can't imagine it even makes any impression whatsoever on audiences anymore. Whatever.....

Don't corrupt the children, Margo!
Actually, I've never been to a show with nudity myself. :) But I can't claim to be a very prolific theater-goer, really.

jakebloke, I haven't seen it myself, but I do believe that Caligula (Euan Morton) is full frontal for a good while.

Yea she did that a lot.. usually only her butt but one or 2 performances for some reason she felt the need for the shirt to come up as well. I doubt there are pictures, but look if you want

I've seen Caligula.
Euan gets fully naked and walks around.
I forgot her name but whoever plays his sister Druscilla does as well but more hidden.
Then some of the cast during the beginning songs show some boobs.
If you go to the Caligula thread, we discussed haha

On the commentary of the Sunday DVD, Sondheim and Lapine (along with Bernadette) explain that the second act was at first a sort of hodge-podge of different ideas about Seurat's art and life. There was going to be a scene about George portrait of three naked women, and that was where the nudity was going to be. I originally thought it was supposed to be in the first scene, but they didn't mention it, and, with all that jumping and dancing...well, you get the idea.
Melissa Errico did not do the nudity in the first scene, but at the end of one Dot's solos in the first act (not sure which one).
