I love that site. There are a couple Broadway-related ones from a while ago that I saved:
Spinster #1: Really reminds you of your first love, doesn't it? Spinster #2: Yeah, that and segregation. --Hairspray matinee
Tourist lady #1: Sweeney Todd...I heard that's a spoof on a cooking show. Tourist lady #2: Oh, is it about Julia Child? Tourist lady #1: I think so. --49th between Broadway & 8th
Chick #1: Is that George W. Bush? Chick #2: Really? Where? Chick #1: Oh no, wait. It's Mayor Bloomberg. Chick #2: I was gonna say, that would be a step up for him!
There was an entire long thread on this, let's not make another.
"You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view - until you climb into his skin and walk around in it."
To Kill A Mockingbird

OK sure.
Anyway- this one is also one of my faves:
Teen boy: What does off-off-Broadway mean? I know Broadway means that you bought the tickets in person and off-Broadway means you bought them online, but what is off-off-Broadway?
The avenue q one I remember had to do with a couple seeing the understudy for Gary Coleman and after the show they were like "Im upset I didn't get to see Gary Coleman" "I know, and to think his understudy was a woman"
Actually, my funniest overheard took place in L.A., standing in line outside the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences...the woman ahead of me was about as New York-accented as you can get and she was talking with a friend of the virtues of New York City. But I had to suppress a laugh when she said, "Noo Yawk cul-cha, there's nothin' like it." "cul-cha" being "culture," lol. Updated On: 6/26/06 at 02:43 PM
