I was just watching The Light in the Piazza on YouTube, and I couldn't help but notice that the title of the show are the last words sung by Margaret in the final song, "Fable." Are there any other shows where the final words sung or spoken are the title of the show?

"Madame Rose and her daughter...Gypsy!"

"Contentment, it seems, simply happens. It appears accompanied by no bravos and no tears."

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels intentionally subverts expectations and ends with them saying "Dirty... Rotten... Guys" instead of the title of the show.

Shakespeare almost did it:

For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo

I don't know if they do this in the musical, but in the film version of A Bronx Tale, the last line is Calogero saying, "This is just another Bronx tale."

Nine is one of my favorite examples- thanks, PThespian!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but did the OBP of Company have a quick reprise of the title song after "Being Alive?" It's on the OBCR, which confused me as I had only watched the Esparza revival (where that was not done).
