I always think of a Jukebox Musical as a show with a new book connecting it all together, with the artists' songs shoe horned in, and Mamma Mia was one of the first. I want to say that 5 Guys Named Moe was a musical, or was it a revue?
MM definitely led the way for anyone with a back catalogue to try and make a show out of it, rarely with a similar level of success. We've had Boney M, Rod Stuart, Spice Girls, Madness - though I did enjoy 'Our House' if only because it used a clever 'sliding doors' 'What/If' type scenario and had some good ideas. |
