In Annie, Lily St. Regis ("I'm named after the hotel") is of course a pun on Lily St. Cyr.

In Little Shop, there's mention of the account with a funeral home owned by a Mrs. Shiva.

In Bye Bye Birdie, in addition to the title character (a name play on Conway Twitty, even though the character is based more on Elvis), there's also the would-be secretary "bombshell" Gloria Rasputin.

In the Pasek/Paul James And The Giant Peach, there's a quasi-narrator character named Ladahlord - which is an anagram of Roald Dahl.
