As the article notes, there are vastly more flops in this genre than hits. And who's left who would draw a large audience who hasn't already been done? The Rolling Stones? And . . . ?

Beautiful outlasted gentleman’s guide and so did jersey boys over my favorite drowsy chaperone. Musicals run around 25% success rate and I don’t think juke box is far off from that.

Yes, I know. What I'm saying is that any Broadway producer who is contemplating putting on The Unsinkable Milli Vanilli or Oh, Captain and Tenille! because s/he thinks a jukebox musical is a shortcut to success may be in for a rude awakening.
