Two revivals about performers - not necessarily musical theatre:
Gypsy
Funny Girl
Moby Dick (?) "hey kids, lets put on a show and save the school"
Two that I don't know if ever staged in the UK:
George M!
Sugar Babies (about vaudeville) more of a revue
And waiting on Mischief's "The Musical That Goes Wrong"

Top Hat's opening number is a show within a show, though admittedly the rest of it isn't.

The Beggar's Opera (and A Chorus of Disapproval) has a framing device, and Sweeney, well the chorus are telling the tale of Sweeney Todd. Presumably someone mentioned Follies.
