The 1962 off-Broadway production of Anything Goes (with Hal Linden as Billy) scrapped some of the original score, and added SIX songs that weren't from the show originally. But it wasn't what I'd call a jukebox musical. It still isn't, even in its current version, which got rid of (only) 4 of those added songs, restored most of the original ones, and then went ahead and added more songs that had nothing to do with the original show.
I don't think that padding an existing show with extra songs (something that's been done a fair amount) is "jukebox" or even "on the way to jukebox." Neither was adding "I Say A Little Prayer" and "A House Is Not A Home" to the revival of Promises, Promises, neither is adding the film songs into Grease, etc.
How about performances of Fidelio that add the Leonore #3? :-) |
