jukebox musical
A jukebox musical is a stage or film musical that uses previously released popular songs as its musical score. Usually the songs have in common a connection with a particular popular musician or group — because they were either written by, or for, the artists in question, or at least covered by them. The songs are contextualized into a dramatic plot: often the biographical story of the performer(s) whose music is featured, although in some cases the plot does not revolve around the particular group at all. Although jukebox musicals had achieved success for years (for instance ''Buddy - The Buddy Holly Story'', the musical about the life of Buddy Holly which ran in the West End for 13 years from 1989 to 2003), their recent surge in popularity was led by the success of ''Mamma Mia!'', built around the music of ABBA. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cheaptheatretickets.com/mamma-mia-jukebox-musical/ )〕
Reception of jukebox musicals has been divided, with the most common criticism being that there is too much focus on how many songs can be fit into the musical. Some jukebox musicals, like ''Lennon'' and ''Good Vibrations'' have been critical and financial flops. Others, like ''Jersey Boys'' and ''All Shook Up'' have received acclaim and have become popular with fans and critics alike.
The term "jukebox musical" dates at least to 1962,〔''Guide to the Performing Arts: 3460,'' Scarecrow Press, Inc., 1962, p. (204 ), "---Kanin, Garson; his jukebox musical with Phil Silvers, Nancy Walker;"〕 following ''jukebox'' (1939), though the general genre – motion pictures consisting largely of hit recordings – dates to the 1940s and 1950s. Examples are ''Jam Session'', ''An American in Paris'' (1951), ''Rock Around the Clock'' (1956), ''Juke Box Rhythm'' (1959), and ''A Hard Day's Night'' (1964).
