During and prior to the Golden Age of Broadway, songs regularly premiered on stage and then charted, spending time on the radio and becoming popular worldwide. In the 1960s, Broadway songs and popular music diverged, and work from musicals was no longer synonymous with chart hits.

Several of the songs that have broken through to the Billboard charts can be heard on Broadway!

One of these shows is playing right now, and is a major theatre success story with off-off-Broadway roots!
