See, it's funny - I think that Smokey Joe's Cafe IS a jukebox musical, because the music is the rock and roll catalogue of Lieber and Stoller. I don't think there's any reason why a jukebox show can't be in a revue format.

To me, Ain't Misbehavin' isn't a jukebox show mainly because the term has usually been applied to shows featuring non-theatre music of the rock era - but Ain't Misbehavin's music not only pre-dates that era, but some of the songs were indeed written for shows.

It has nothing to do with the show's structure - it's the music used in it.
