Before anybody jumps, your greater than/less than symbol is facing the wrong way if you're looking for plays under 90 minutes...just so no one gets confused.

there are literally over 100,000 that meet that requirement. Could you provide a bit of context if you have a serious question?

"Quartet by Samuel Beckett" is actually a thing? Thank goodness. I wrote a quartet of one-acts and was sure that four was an strange number for a miniseries of them.

We did Joseph the full show in 67 minutes if you cut out the intermission. And ride the tempos slightly faster. The audiences loved it and it was a highlight and sold out success of the festival.

Actually you were right the first time. You were looking for a play or musical less than 90 minutes.  Play/musical < 90 minutes

I just did Murder Ballad. A rock opera that if you do it right runs 75 minutes flat. The only button is in the last song of the show, and at that point, the audience's need to applaud reaches a level you can't imagine.

I felt the need to chime in a well. Looking for a play/musical less than  90 minutes long would indeed be written as 

Play/Musical<90 minutes
