"Golden Rainbow" is the title of a musical that ran on Broadway from February 4, 1968 until January 11, 1969. The musical opened at the Shubert Theatre on Broadway; the stars, Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gormé, were already well-known from their extensive work in music, film and television during the 1950s and 1960s. The musical is perhaps best remembered for the song "I've Gotta Be Me", released as a single in the late 1960s by both Lawrence and Sammy Davis, Jr. (Davis' version reached #11 on the pop chart and #1 on the easy listening chart). The show details the lives of a group of people in and around Las Vegas, Nevada. Author William Goldman wrote a gossipy and unflattering book that detailed this musical, "The Season", while it was still running on Broadway.

The music and lyrics for "Golden Rainbow" were by Walter Marks; the book was by Ernest Kinoy; and the musical was based on the film adaptation (by screenwriter Arnold Schulman) of the play "A Hole in the Head". Although the musical did not win any Tony Awards, actor Scott Jacoby was nominated for Best Featured Actor in a Musical, and Robert Randolph was nominated for Best Scenic Design.
