* ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}'', despite its very American focus, has become quite popular worldwide (largely in part due to its cast recording, which is almost treated as a concept album in its own right). The United Kingdom was the first other country to have their own production, which was then promptly nominated for a record-breaking thirteen Olivier Awards (it won seven - ironically, while most were parallels to the Tonys the show won, the Best Supporting Actor award went not to the actor who played Jefferson, but to the one who played King George III!). It's also become quite popular in Latin America, due to the show's embrace of immigrants' roles in shaping America and Creator/LinManuelMiranda's proudly flaunting his Latino heritage. This was helped by Lin returning to the role of Alexander Hamilton after three years for a limited run in Puerto Rico.
* Similarly, although ''Theatre/{{Six|TheMusical}}'' is about a very British subject (the six wives of UsefulNotes/HenryVIII), it developed a giant fanbase in the USA who appreciated its contemporary pop leanings and focus on female empowerment. A highly-anticipated Broadway run was planned to open March 12, 2020, the very night the COVID-19 pandemic closed Broadway theatres for eighteen months. When the show finally opened in Fall 2021, the show was immensely popular, with a live cast album recorded on opening night.

* ''Theatre/IAmMyOwnWife'': InUniverse and with the trope maker. Charlotte, a trans icon in Germany, appears on a cheesy daytime celebrity chat show. At the end, the chat show host says "We'll be back after a short break, with American singing sensation David Hasselhoff."
