Show tune
A show tune is a popular song originally written as part of the score of a “show” (or stage musical), especially if the piece in question has become a “standard,” more or less detached in most people's minds from the original context. Particular musicals that have yielded “show tunes” include:
* Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein's ''Oklahoma!, Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I, Flower Drum Song, The Sound of Music''
* Jerome Kern and Hammerstein's ''Show Boat''
* Rudolf Friml, Herbert Stothart, Otto Harbach and Hammerstein's ''Rose-Marie''
* Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart's ''Pal Joey
* Irving Berlin's ''Annie Get Your Gun, As Thousands Cheer, Call Me Madam''
* Cole Porter's ''Anything Goes, Kiss Me, Kate, Can-Can''
* George and Ira Gershwin's ''Girl Crazy, Oh, Kay!''
* Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick's ''Fiddler on the Roof''
* Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe's ''Brigadoon, Paint Your Wagon, My Fair Lady, Gigi, Camelot''
* Meredith Willson's ''The Music Man''
* Frank Loesser's ''Guys and Dolls'', ''How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying''
* Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim's ''West Side Story''
* Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley's ''Stop the World – I Want to Get Off'', ''The Roar of the Greasepaint – The Smell of the Crowd''
* Jerry Herman's ''Milk and Honey, Hello, Dolly!, Mame, Dear World, Mack & Mabel, La Cage aux Folles''
* Stephen Sondheim's ''A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Company, Follies, Sunday in the Park with George, Sweeney Todd, A Little Night Music''
* John Kander and Fred Ebb's ''Cabaret, Chicago''
* Andrew Lloyd Webber's ''Evita, Jesus Christ Superstar, Cats, The Phantom of the Opera, Starlight Express, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat''
*Stephen Schwartz's ''Pippin, Godspell, and Wicked''
*Jonathan Larson's ''Rent''
*Claude-Michel Schonberg's ''Les Misérables, Miss Saigon''
Though show tunes vary in style, they do tend to share common characteristics—they usually fit the context of a story being told in the original musical, they are useful in enhancing and heightening choice moments.
Show tunes were a major venue for popular music before the rock and roll and television era; most of the hits of such songwriters as Jerome Kern, Cole Porter, and George Gershwin came from their shows. Although show tunes no longer have such a major role in popular music as they did in their heyday, they remain somewhat popular, especially among niche audiences.
