The concept versions of "I Don't Know How To Love Him" and
"Superstar."
One suspects Gloria Gaynor's disco cover of "I Am What I Am"
benefitted LA CAGE.
Ditto various covers of "Memory" for CATS.
The Menken Disney singles helped their films.
The various singles from the concept album of CHESS helped the London
production of CHESS.
One would think the disco cover of "Easy as Life" from Elton's AIDA
helped the show to run a bit longer.
And while I don't remember if "Tomorrow" got air play, it was
certainly everywhere else in the late 70s and helped ANNIE. Ditto, but
not to the same degree "What I Did For Love" from ACL.
