| Not much new here. It's a variation on the conversation about adapted musicals vs original musicals, particularly movie adaptations as of late. You can't categorically dismiss adaptations and you can't categorically dismiss jukebox musicals. Some are good, some work. I appreciate that he makes the distinction between jukebox musicals, revues, and bio musicals that the tell the story of the group/artist in question. I am not sure I even think of Moulin Rouge as a jukebox musical. It's just following the template of the movie where pop songs from a variety of sources were always part of the storytelling. |
