| "I know we may all have different opinions on what 'jukebox' covers and what it doesn't. " Absolutely, plus I think AIN'T MISBEHAVIN' is best classified as a revue, and many people make a pretty strong distinction between (1) revues, and (2) shows that take old songs and put them into some new narrative context. In debating this broad subject, it's wise to remember that many of these shows are different from the others in important ways. JERSEY BOYS, BEAUTIFUL, LENNON, RING OF FIRE, HEAD OVER HEELS, MAMMA MIA!, MOVIN' OUT, and CONTACT are only a few examples of shows that have major differences between each other even though they might all fit under the very large umbrella of the "jukebox musical." |

| I wouldn't consider CONTACT a jukebox musical. It's a play with music and dance. I didn't have a problem with it winning a Tony though. It was the best show that season. | |

| I wouldn't consider CONTACT a jukebox musical. It's a play with music and dance. And the only rock/pop music is in the last sequence in the club. Not enough to qualify it as a jukebox score, IMO. To me, the show is a very expensive dance recital, with the boombox hooked up to a Broadway sound system, and done in a theatre instead of a dance studio. ;-) |
