Miss Spectacular is an unproduced musical with words and music by Jerry Herman and additional lyrics by Steve Lawrence and Michael Feinstein.

Its plot focuses on a girl from the Midwest who heads to Las Vegas in search of fame and fortune as a chorus girl. Herman was commissioned to write it by a major Vegas hotel, which planned to install it in its theater for a long-term engagement, but when the property was sold the new owners had no interest in the project.

Undaunted, Herman gathered together a cast of talented Broadway performers, including Lawrence, Feinstein, Faith Prince, Christine Baranski, Debbie Gravitte, and Karen Morrow, and a full orchestra to record a concept album that was released on the DRG label in 2002. His score is reminiscent of such early work as Hello, Dolly! and Mame, resplendent with old-fashioned, hummable tunes.
