I think it comes down to whether you think that "jukebox musical" is the right term for the show. I'm not sure it is. Some of those songs were actually written for Broadway shows, and I also tend to think of "jukebox shows" as being more rock/pop oriented - Waller's music was "pop" in his day, but somehow it feels like a different kind of musical "catalogue" lol. I know we may all have different opinions on what "jukebox" covers and what it doesn't.
But I would definitely agree that the show itself is a huge benchmark. So well-conceived and so classy - and so much fun. (And no matter how many times I hear that arrangement of "Black And Blue" - it always gets me emotional. And then to be topped by that whole finale sequence...just perfection.) |
