* In ''Theatre/TwistedTheUntoldStoryOfARoyalVizier'', [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} Prince Achmed]] recounts that when he was attacked by the Princess's tiger, it "grabbed ahold of [his] woody," referring to his [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory Woody doll]]. Since it serves as this InUniverse, it only intensifies his "[[EmbarrassingNickname Tiger Fucker]]" nickname, as his soldiers all think he had sex with the tiger.

** Made even more {{hilarious|InHindsight}} by the fact that the entire song is just a HurricaneOfPuns, and yet this one was completely unintentional (it was referring to actual cats, and how much meat you can get out of them).

However, given Creator/StephenSondheim has a rather has a rather dark sense of humor, there's a strong chance that while he's referring to actual cats, he was aware of the other wordplay here.

* One of the major settings of ''Theatre/{{Tannhaeuser}}'' is the "Venusberg," the hill of Venus. Creator/RichardWagner was aware of the potential for gynecological jokes and refrained from making it the title of the opera.

* Though Creator/WilliamShakespeare intentionally wrote many {{Double Entendre}}s into his plays, some of which [[GetTheeToANunnery tend to be lost on modern audiences]], Ophelia's line "he comes before me" in ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}'' was probably not meant as innuendo. The ReducedShakespeareCompany, acting with typical VulgarHumor, presented it as such; a footnote in the published edition of ''[[Theatre/TheCompleteWorksOfWilliamShakespeareAbridged The Complete Wrks of Wllm Shkspr (Abridged)]]'' suggests two X-rated interpretations.

** In the following dialogue of Theatre/{{Hamlet}}, the Prince's words bring about a momentary laugh from Rosencrantz:
-->'''Hamlet''': Man delights not me-- no, nor woman neither, though by your smiling you seem to say so.
-->'''Rosencrantz''': My lord, there was no such stuff in my thoughts.
-->'''Hamlet''': Why did you laugh, then, when I said "Man delights not me"?
-->'''Rosencrantz''': To think, my lord, if you delight not in man, what lenten entertainment the players shall receive from you.

* [[invoked]] In ''Theatre/TheDrowsyChaperone'' the Man in Chair asks if anyone had noticed the sexual implications of the song "Love is Always Lovely ''in the End''."
* ''Music/JesusChristSuperstar'', during the Last Supper.
-->Why don't you go do it?\\
You want me to do it!\\
Hurry they are waiting\\
If you knew why I do it . . .\\
I don't care why you do it!\\
To think I admired you\\
For now I despise you\\
[[ShapedLikeItself You liar - you Judas]]\\
You wanted me to do it!
* ''Theatre/JuliusCaesar'': Act IV, Scene 3, in Brutus's tent. Brutus asks his page boy, Lucius, to play him some music on his...er...[[FreudWasRight instrument]].
--> '''Brutus''': [to Lucius] Where is thy instrument?
--> '''Lucius''': Here in the tent.
--> [...]
--> '''Brutus''': Canst thou hold up thy heavy eyes awhile and [[FreudianSlipperySlope touch thy instrument a strain or two]]?
--> '''Lucius''': Ay, my lord, [[SomethingElseAlsoRises an't please you]].
--> '''Brutus''': It does, my boy: I trouble thee too much, but thou art willing.
--> '''Lucius''': It is my duty, sir.
--> '''Brutus''': I should not urge thy duty past thy might; I know young bloods look for a time of rest…
--> ''[Later, Lucius has fallen asleep while playing a strain or two on his instrument]''
--> '''Brutus''' [to Lucius]: Gentle knave, good night…If thou dost nod, [[ThatCameOutWrong thou break'st thy instrument]]; [[DiggingYourselfDeeper I'll take it from thee…]]"
* There's one scene early in ''Theatre/TheLightInThePiazza'' where Fabrizio looks down aghast at himself, [[BiggerIsBetterInBed motioning towards his legs.]] He's actually referring to his clothes, but the innuendo becomes even greater when one factors in the relevant line in Italian, where he says "She can't love a little boy!"
* In ''Theatre/MeAndMyDick'' Weenie gives Joey some homemade soup, causing the audience to gasp. They then clarify it's just chicken noodle.
* "[[http://kids.niehs.nih.gov/lyrics/justone.htm Just One Person]]" from the musical ''[[ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}} Snoopy!!!]]'':
-->"Two whole people, who believe in you\\
Deep enough, and strong enough,\\
Believe in you\\
Hard enough and long enough\\
There's bound to be some other person who\\
Believes in making it a threesome"
* A few lines in ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsQRZ4TsljI A Little Priest]]'', from ''Theatre/SweeneyToddTheDemonBarberOfFleetStreet'':
-->"Now a pussy's good for maybe six or seven at the most... and I'm sure they can't compare as far as taste!"
** Made even more {{hilarious|InHindsight}} by the fact that the entire song is just a HurricaneOfPuns, and yet this one was completely unintentional (it was referring to actual cats, and how much meat you can get out of them).
** There's another one in the second act, in Mrs. Lovett's piece ''By the Sea''. She's talking about how great life will be once she and Sweeney Todd are living by the sea, and saying that it'll just be the two of them and the occasional paying guest, and if he feels like it "now and then you could do the guest in". She talks about getting married and tells him to "bring along your chopper", meaning his razor. However, Sondheim notes in his book ''Finishing the Hat'' that when the show premiered in England, he discovered that "chopper" is also British slang for penis.

* ''Theatre/WestSideStory'': "When you come, use the back door."
* ''Theatre/{{Wicked}}'': From As Long As You're Mine: "If it turns out it's [[JizzedInMyPants over too fast]]..."
