| Yes. The jukebox musical designation apparently has several sub-genres. IMO the bio-musical has met with the most commercial success on Broadway with outright hits like Jersey Boys, The Boy from Oz, Beautiful, and Motown in recent years. The use of pre-existing pop songs as book numbers in a newly created story (no matter how incongruous) almost never works, but shows like that keep coming anyway. |
