Yes, and Crazy For You is a Madonna song. I'm still not really sure why the musical decided on that title. (The Gershwin song "K-razy For You" is barely even heard in the show.)

Then there was Never Gonna Dance (and again, that is the title of a song in the show) based on Swing Time - though Never Gonna Dance calls up Careless Whisper in my mind, not Jerome Kern. ;-)

There was the play A Walk In The Woods that was on Broadway at the same time as Into The Woods.

There was The band's Visit, Bandstand, and Gettin' The Band back Together.

Sondheim and Laurents wrote a musical called Side Show, which got retitled Anyone Can Whistle.

We've had American Buffalo, American Idiot, and American Psycho. And All-American. And Rodgers and Hart's American Sweetheart in 1931.

No No Nanette, Yes Yes Yvette, and Divorce Me Darling. The Boyfriend and The Girlfriend. Altar Boyz and Jersey Boys. And the Boys In The Band, and The Boys From Syracuse.

I think we have room for two Dolly shows whose titles are very similar.
