| I would argue that 21st Century Breakdown was in the nature of a sequel to American Idiot and that the Broadway show condensed the two, but jettisoning the change of location and characters of the latter which would have been unwieldy onstage. I'm not prepared to argue the point strenuously, but both albums were written theatrically (whether labelled a musical, an opera, or something else). This was not a case of fitting a square peg in a round hole, which to me is the definition of a jukebox musical. |
