[also not in play] The stage version of The Producers had an intermission, then, during the song “Betrayed”, when Max is doing a synopsis of events, at one point he stops, says “intermission”, sits on the cell bed and leafs through a StageBill for “The Producers”; then stands up and continues. You could say it had two intermissions. ---
