Big River. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (which I jokingly call Big River: Episode 1). Always, Patsy Cline.
I'm wanting to together a review type show as a fundraiser for our local theater. Country music is big in the area. What other shows out there feature country music either as their whole score or as certain songs within? Juke-box or original scores both count. Thanks!!!

How about something from "Bonnie and Clyde"? That score has some country elements to it.
Also, "9 to 5"!

Posted: 7/15/14 at 4:20pmI've always thought that many of the songs in "Once" sounded very country.

As Littleshopofcarrie already stated, many songs from Violet, especially including "Who'll be the One." Assasins also has a country influence.

"There Once Was a Man" from PAJAMA GAME.
"Lida Rose" from THE MUSIC MAN.
Off-broadway, but all of PUMP BOYS AND DINETTES.
UNSINKABLE MOLLY BROWN, WILDCAT and LITTLE ME all have some "country" numbers.
Depending on how they are performed, many of the songs in OKLAHOMA! sound "country".
