"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."
I agree that it almost never works, and I don't even think it worked (artistically) in MAMMA MIA! But the tremendously long run and huge financial success of that show ensures that new musicals of that type will keep coming -- even though, as you point out, the only big hit since MM has been ROCK OF AGES. |
