* OlderThanSteam, thanks to this bit from Creator/WilliamShakespeare's ''Theatre/TheMerchantOfVenice'':
-->My daughter! O my ducats! O my daughter!\\
Fled with a Christian! O my Christian ducats!\\
Justice! the law! my ducats, and my daughter!\\
A sealed bag, two sealed bags of ducats,\\
Of double ducats, stolen from me by my daughter!\\
And jewels, two stones, two rich and precious stones,\\
Stolen by my daughter! Justice! find the girl;\\
She hath the stones upon her, and the ducats.
** As a matter of fact, Shylock's whole speech pattern is like this, possibly to enforce the idea that he's nightmarishly persistent (count how many times he says some variant on "[[MadnessMantra I'll have my bond, I will not hear thee speak]]"). Launcelot Gobbo uses the trope more comedically, ''especially'' in his opening monologue.
-->"Fia!" says the fiend. "Away!" says the fiend. "For the heavens, rouse up a brave mind", says the fiend, "and run!" [[note]] "Fia" is a dialect form of "via", which is Italian for "away". Since everyone's [[TranslationConvention supposed to be speaking Italian]], he pretty much just said the same sentence twice.[[/note]]
** Portia gets a moment as well:
-->I speak too long, but 'tis to pheaze the time,\\
To eke it and to draw it out in length...
*** {{Justified|Trope}} in that she's doing exactly what she says she's doing--stalling for time.
** Shakespeare uses it again in one of [[Theatre/MuchAdoAboutNothing Dogberry]]'s speeches:
-->Marry, sir, they have committed false report;\\
moreover, they have spoken untruths; secondarily,\\
they are slanders; sixth and lastly, they have\\
belied a lady; thirdly, they have verified unjust\\
things; and, to conclude, they are lying knaves.\\
*** Don Pedro replies: "First I ask thee what have they done? Thirdly, what's their offence? Sixth and lastly, why they are committed? and to conclude, what you lay to their charge?"
** ''Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream'':
-->But, masters, here are your parts, and I am to entreat you, request you and desire you to con them by tomorrow night...
** ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'':
-->You are looked for and called for, asked for and sought for in the great chamber.
** Don Armado, Holofernes, and Nathaniel from ''Theatre/LovesLaboursLost'' all speak in this trope.
* The Australian spoof of BMovie sci-fi and horror films, ''Attack of the Attacking Attackers!''. At the end of the play they announce the [[{{Cliffhanger}} To Be Continued sequel]], ''Revenge of the Revenging Revengers!''
* From ''Theatre/{{Wicked}}'', "Thank Goodness":
-->'''Glinda:''' There's a kind of a sort of...cost\\
There's a couple of things get...lost\\
There are bridges you cross\\
You didn't know you crossed\\
Until you've crossed.\\
* The Seattle-based ACT Theatre. A Contemporary Theatre Theatre.
* Theatre/CyranoDeBergerac: This trope is combined with RuleOfThree: The gratuitous repetition of a question or a gesture for three or more times are shown in the play:
** PlayedForLaughs: In Act I Montfleury tries to say his lines four times, Cyrano orders him to disappear when Cyrano claps his hands the third time, the bore asks Cyrano three times if he has a protector. Lampshaded by Cyrano when he does not answer a third time:
-->'''Cyrano:''' ''(irritated)'' No, I have told you twice! Must I repeat?
** PlayedForDrama: In Act II, Cyrano asks Roxana three times what she would do if Christian is not as eloquent as he is fair; she answers two times that being fair, he has to be eloquent, and the third time she invokes DrivenToSuicide. In Act IV, Cyrano asks Roxane if she would love Christian, even if he were ugly, three times. She answers yes every time.
* [[Theatre/{{Seussical}} "...then you think, 'I'm a thinker, and I think thinks!'"]]
* Penny Pingleton of ''Theatre/{{Hairspray}}'' is rather prone to this, suggesting they should write things on the signs they're planning to make and making mention of the fact that the armed guards will be armed.
* Theatre/LesMiserables has a song called "I Dreamed a Dream".
** Also this bit from "Castle on a Cloud":
-->Please do not send me out alone, not in the darkness on my own.
* In ''Theatre/{{Urinetown}}'' this trope is used many times (often being PlayedForLaughs) but the crowning moment has to go to this (spoiler-y) gem:
-->'''[[spoiler:Penelope]]:''' Hope is my daughter...
-->'''Ensemble:''' ''(small gasp)''
-->'''[[spoiler:Penelope]]:''' AND I AM HER MOTHER!
-->'''Ensemble:''' ''(LARGE GASP)''
