Those 12,000+ productions were presented in more than 1300 theatres and in over 150 cities! But this is just the tip of the iceberg. We are actively increasing the size and scope of this database to ensure that it's your #1 resource for the history of theatre.

What do you think of the term “showtune” to describe songs from musical theatre? 9 comments
ItÂ’s an inappropriate and derogatory term.
ItÂ’s a little too casual.
It applies well to some theatre songs but not for others.
It's perfectly fine.
ItÂ’s so derogatory that weÂ’re taking back the word and reclaiming it! Those who love musicals can freely refer to them as showtunes, but those who donÂ’t know Jerry Herman from Stephen Sondheim better not!
